Dozens of extremist Jewish settlers desecrated the Aqsa Mosque in Occupied Jerusalem under tight police protection on Thursday morning and later in the afternoon.
According to al-Qastal News website at least 132 settlers entered the Mosque in different groups through its Maghariba Gate and toured its courtyards.
A temple mount group claimed today that 453 settlers toured the Mosque during the Purim holiday.
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 different Talmudic prayers.
Meanwhile the Israeli occupation police imposed movement and entry restrictions on Muslim worshipers at the Aqsa Mosque’s entrances and gates.
The Aqsa Mosque is exposed to daily desecration by Jewish settlers and police forces in the morning and the afternoon except on Fridays and Saturdays.
