The Israeli occupation police allowed hordes of extremist Jewish settlers to desecrate the Aqsa Mosque in Occupied Jerusalem on Wednesday morning and later in the afternoon, while persisting in banning Muslim worshipers from entering their holy site.
According to local sources, dozens of settlers entered the Mosque in groups through its Maghariba Gate and toured its courtyards under police escort.
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.
Meanwhile, the Israeli occupation police prevented Muslim worshipers from entering the Islamic holy site during the settler tours and only allowed in a few numbers of elderly men for prayers, especially at dawn.
Yesterday, 91 settlers desecrated the Aqsa Mosque under police guard, amid restrictions on the movement of Jerusalemite citizens in their holy city.
Meanwhile, Jerusalemite activists urged anew their compatriots to march en masse to the Aqsa Mosque to break the siege imposed on it by the Israeli occupation police for the fifth consecutive month.
They warned that the current Israeli violations in the holy city is aimed at emptying the Aqsa Mosque of Muslim worshipers, calling for necessarily not yielding to the restrictions imposed by the Israeli police around the Aqsa Mosque and in the Old City of Jerusalem.
