Extremist Zionist settlers stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque through the Mughrabi Gate on Wednesday morning, under heavy protection from Israeli police.
The Islamic Endowments Department in occupied Jerusalem reported that dozens of settlers stormed Al-Aqsa and organized provocative tours of its courtyards, according to the Palestinian News Agency (Safa).
The settlers performed Talmudic rituals and prayers in the eastern part of the mosque.
Israeli forces tightened restrictions on Palestinian worshippers entering Al-Aqsa Mosque and confiscated their ID cards at its outer gates.
Palestinian calls for mobilization, solidarity, and resistance to the plans of the Israeli enemy and Zionist settler groups in Al-Aqsa Mosque, which aim to demolish the mosque and build the alleged “Temple,” have intensified.
