Dozens of extremist Jewish settlers desecrated the Aqsa Mosque in Occupied Jerusalem on Thursday morning.
According to al-Qastal News website at least 278 settlers escorted by police officers entered the Mosque in groups through its Maghariba Gate and toured its courtyards to mark what they call the Shavuot (feast of weeks) occasion.
During their tours at the Islamic holy site the settlers received lectures from rabbis about the alleged temple mount and a number of them performed Talmudic prayers in the eastern area of the Mosque.
Meanwhile the Israeli occupation police continued to tighten their restrictions on the entry of Muslim worshipers especially young men and women to the Mosque in the morning prevented many of them from entering the holy site and expelled others from its courtyards.
