Hundreds of extremist Jewish settlers desecrated the Aqsa Mosque in Occupied Jerusalem on Monday morning and later in the afternoon on the second day of the Passover holiday, amid tight restrictions on the entry of Muslim worshipers to the holy site.

According to al-Qastal news agency, 1,149 settlers entered the Mosque through its Maghariba Gate and provocatively 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 provocatively performed Talmudic prayers.

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.

According to media sources, groups of settlers performed religious practices and provocative dances at the Old City’s al-Asbat Gate, while Israeli police set up additional checkpoints at the entrances of the Aqsa Mosque compound and restricted Palestinian access and movement in the holy city.
