Al-Quds Governorate affirmed that the incursion by extremist Israeli Knesset member Amit Halevi into the courtyards of the Al-Aqsa Mosque on Sunday came as part of a provocative tour accompanied by the so-called Temple Mount Administration, amid escalating Israeli calls to impose a new reality inside the mosque, which constitutes a threat to Islamic holy sites and an attempt to change the existing status quo in its courtyards.
According to the Safa News Agency, Halevi stormed the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque in Al-Quds, attacking the decision to prevent settlers’ incursions during the midday hours in the holy month of Ramadan.
The governorate noted that Halevi called for no change to what he described as “Jewish prayers” inside the mosque.
In the same context, the governorate reported that Israeli forces handed released prisoner and Al-Aqsa Mosque guard Fadi Alyan an order banning him from the mosque for six months, as part of a series of restrictive measures targeting Palestinians in the area surrounding the mosque.
