Hordes of Israeli settlers led by rabbi Yehuda Glick on Monday defiled al-Aqsa Mosque under the protection of special police forces.
Spokesman for Jerusalem’s Islamic Awqaf Department Feras al-Dibs said in a statement that dozens of settlers entered al-Aqsa Mosque via al-Maghareba Gate which has been under Israeli control since 1967 while escorted by a large police force.
Nearly 33000 Israelis have taken part in settler mass break-ins into al-Aqsa Mosque since the beginning of 2018 a noticeable increase compared to the numbers documented in previous years.
