Groups of Israeli settlers have once again stormed the al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied Jerusalem escorted by several Israeli troops on Monday morning.
Heavily-armed Israeli forces were deployed in large numbers in the holy Islamic compound in order to pave the way for the settlers’ break-in via al-Magharibeh gate.
Meanwhile tight restrictions have been imposed on the entry of Palestinian worshipers to their holy shrine.
The occupied Palestinian territories have witnessed rising tensions ever since Israeli forces imposed restrictions on the entry of Palestinian worshipers into the al-Aqsa Mosque compound in August 2015 while allowing free access for the Jewish settlers.
