Approximately 260 Israeli settlers on Tuesday forced their way into al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied Jerusalem marking the fourth day of Passover holiday.
Department of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs affirmed that the settlers stormed the holy shrine from the Israeli-controlled al-Magharibeh Gate and performed their Talmudic rituals under heavy police protection.
During the raid Israeli police prevented the entry of public relations and media official at the Islamic Awqaf Feras al-Debs and a number of al-Aqsa’s guards into the Mosque.
Over the past two days more than 500 settlers broke into the Mosque in total provocation to Palestinian worshipers.
