A group of Israeli settlers stormed Monday morning al-Aqsa Mosque compound in the Israeli-occupied Jerusalem amid heavy police protection.
Local sources affirmed that 36 settlers forced their way into the holy site through al-Magharibah Gate under tight protection of several groups of Israeli soldiers and special police forces.
The settlers carried out provocative tours in various parts of the Mosque’s yards in total provocation to Palestinian worshipers.
Israeli police forces intensified since the morning hours their presence throughout the holy shrine to provide protection for the settlers’ break-in.
