Dozens of Jewish settlers protected by Israeli police stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Occupied Jerusalem as tensions soared in the area on Tuesday morning.
The settlers entered Al-Aqsa compound from the Magharaba Gate under strict protection from police forces and toured the site.
The Islamic Waqf said that Israeli settlers stormed the site and performed provocative Talmudic rituals while Israeli forces restricted Palestinian entry to the site checking their ID cards and erecting barriers in different areas of the Old City.
The Al-Aqsa Mosque is exposed to daily desecration by Jewish settlers and police forces in the morning and the afternoon except on Fridays and Saturdays.
