Groups of extremist settlers escorted by the Israeli police on Sunday morning stormed al-Aqsa Mosque to perform Talmudic rituals.
Local sources told the PIC reporter that 19 settlers entered the Mosque via al-Maghareba Gate in the early morning hours. More settlers are expected to break into the holy site later in the day.
The settlers roamed the courtyards of al-Aqsa Mosque under heavy police protection.
Settlers’ incursions into al-Aqsa Mosque are carried out on a daily basis in the presence of a large number of Israeli policemen and special forces especially in the early morning hours because of the small number of Palestinian worshipers in the Mosque at this time.
