Dozens of Israeli settlers on Thursday morning broke into al-Aqsa Mosque under heavy police protection.
According to Quds Press 118 settlers forced their way into the Mosque from Bab al-Magharbeh which has been under full Israeli control since the occupation of Jerusalem in 1967.
The tours included some of the courtyards of al-Aqsa Mosque within a specific route ending with Bab al-Silsileh where the settlers performed Talmudic rites and prayers after exiting it.
Other incursions are expected to be conducted after the noon prayer.
