Hundreds of extremist Jewish settlers escorted by police officers desecrated the Aqsa Mosque’s courtyards on Wednesday morning, amid tight restrictions on the entry of Muslim worshipers to the holy site.
According to local sources, over 700 of settlers entered the Mosque in different groups through its Maghariba Gate and toured its courtyards.
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.
A number of settlers also gathered at the Aqsa Mosque’s al-Qatanin Gate while carrying Israeli flags.
Meanwhile, the Israeli occupation police imposed movement and entry restrictions on Muslim worshipers at the Aqsa Mosque’s entrances and gates and prevented many of them from entering the holy site.
