Dozens of extremist Jewish settlers desecrated the Aqsa Mosque in Occupied Jerusalem on Tuesday morning and later in the afternoon.
At least 158 settlers entered the Mosque in different groups through its Maghariba Gate and toured its courtyards under tight police protection according to al-Qastal News website.
During their tours at the Islamic holy site the settlers received lectures from rabbis about the alleged temple mount and a number of them provocatively performed Talmudic prayers.
Meanwhile the Israeli occupation police continued to impose restrictions on the entry of Muslim worshipers to the Mosque and harassed a number of them during their presence in its courtyards and the entrances leading to it.
Israeli police officers also detained a Turkish young woman during her presence at the Aqsa Mosque particularly near the Bab al-Rahma prayer hall.
Police officers also assaulted a Palestinian woman near the Bab al-Rahma building and arrested Jadallah al-Ghoul who works at the Aqsa Mosque as a guard after he tried to defend her.
