The Israeli occupation police on Monday morning accompanied dozens of Israeli settlers as they forced their way into al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem.
Jerusalem’s Islamic Awqaf Department said that 140 Israeli settlers broke into al-Aqsa Mosque and roamed the site while receiving presentations on the alleged “Temple Mount”.
Meanwhile the Israeli police tightened restrictions on the Palestinian worshipers entering al-Aqsa Mosque scrutinized their IDs and ordered many of them to stay outside the mosque.
Settler raids have been allowed into al-Aqsa Mosque and protected by the Israeli police through al-Maghareba Gate every day except Saturdays and Fridays since 2003.
