Hordes of extremist Jewish settlers escorted by police forces desecrated the Aqsa Mosque in Occupied Jerusalem on Monday morning and later in the afternoon.
According to local sources, 172 settlers entered the Mosque in groups through its Maghariba Gate and toured its courtyards under police guard.
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 police also continued to impose strict security measures in the Old City of Jerusalem and at the Aqsa Mosque’s gates, barred hundreds of Muslim worshipers from entering their holy site and obstructed the movement of others.
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.
