About 87 Israeli settlers broke into al-Aqsa Mosque on Sunday and performed Talmudic rituals under the protection of special police forces.
‘Temple Mount’ organizations union have recently called on Israeli settlers to flock to al-Aqsa Mosque and celebrate Sukkot holiday which starts Sunday and lasts for a week.
Israeli police ahead of the Jewish holiday have tightened restrictions on Jerusalem and targeted its residents activists and employees working in al-Aqsa Mosque with arbitrary arrests interrogations and entry bans.
Most of Jerusalem notables believe that Israel is preparing to impose a new reality in the holy city by allowing settlers to perform their Talmudic rituals openly without restrictions. This is just a small step toward a spatial division of al-Aqsa Mosque they think.
Israeli police accompanied the settlers during the break-in and treated the Palestinians who were present in al-Aqsa Mosque aggressively. One of the worshipers was even arrested.
