A group of Israeli settlers stormed Thursday morning al-Aqsa Mosque compound in occupied Jerusalem in the latest incursion into one of the holiest sites in Islam.
At least 21 settlers broke into the compound in two groups under full protection of Israel’s special police forces.
The settlers performed Talmudic rituals in total provocation to Palestinian worshipers.
Meanwhile heavily-armed Israeli Special Forces stormed the Mosque in order to pave the way for settlers’ provocative break-ins.
According to Israeli sources 14094 Israeli settlers stormed al-Aqsa from September 2015 to October 2016. 3000 of them broke into the compound in October 2016.
The Islamic Waqf Department which manages al-Aqsa Mosque affairs held the Israeli authorities responsible for settlers’ incursions and reneging on international laws.
The Waqf Department stated that al-Aqsa Mosque is revered by more than 1.6 billion Muslims worldwide and that the existing accords prohibit Jewish prayers inside the Mosque.
