Scores of extremist settlers break into Al-Aqsa Mosque

Dozens of Jewish extremist settlers on Monday stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque/ al-Haram al-Sharif compound in occupied East Jerusalem. The General Islamic Endowments Department in Jerusalem said in a statement that the settlers carried out today’s raids through al-Magharebah Gate, under the heavy protection of Israeli police, who restricted Muslim worshippers’ access to the holy shrine. “The settlers provocatively toured the Mosque’s yards, and performed Talmudic rituals in the Bab al-Rahma area amid a state of anger inside the compound,” it added. Al-Aqsa Mosque incursions occur on a daily basis, except for Fridays and Saturdays, during both morning and evening hours, in an attempt to impose a temporal and spatial division.
