47 Israeli settlers stormed on Tuesday morning holy al-Aqsa Mosque—the third holiest site in Islam.
Israeli settler hordes broke into the site accompanied by heavy police escort a member of al-Aqsa supervision staff told the PIC.
The settlers performed sacrilegious rituals in the eastern plaza of al-Aqsa sparking tension at the site.
Prior to the break-in the Israeli police unlocked al-Maghareba Gate which has been controlled by the occupation forces since 1967. Muslim worshipers are denied access into the site via the al-Maghareba Gate.
