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, hundreds of settlers were allowed into the Aqsa Mosque to mark the Jewish Shavuot holiday 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.
Thousands of settlers also swarmed the Aqsa Mosque’s western wall (al-Buraq Wall), amid road closures and restrictions on the movement of Palestinians in the Old City.
