The head of the Islamic Movement within the Green Line Sheikh Raed Salah said in press statements that Israeli attacks on Al-Aqsa Mosque are failed attempts to impose a new religious sovereignty in Al-Aqsa Mosque.
The Israeli occupation aims to impose a Talmudic way of life by intensifying settler incursions on a daily basis including on Fridays and during Ramadan he said.
He pointed out that performing full prostration by a group of settlers earlier today came as part of Israeli policies to impose Talmudic rituals and prayers at the holy site just like imposing the Jewish silent prayers last Ramadan.
All these Israeli attempts will fail and the Al-Aqsa Mosque will remain purely Palestinian Arab and Islamic he concluded.
Footage circulated on the internet in the morning showed two settlers waiving Israeli flags without any intervention by the police officers who escorted them.
Some settlers also chanted the Israeli anthem as two of them carried Israeli flags during their tours of the Mosque.
Other settlers performed full prostration with their bodies pressed flat on the ground after entering the Al-Aqsa Mosque amid restrictions on the entry of Muslim worshipers to their holy site.
