Dozens of Israeli settlers stormed on Wednesday morning al-Aqsa Mosque—the third holiest site in Islam—via the Maghareba Gate.
Hordes of Israeli settlers escorted by policemen broke into al-Aqsa Mosque as part of the morning break-in shift and carried out a round of sacrilegious tours.
Dozens more are expected to show up at the site during the afternoon break-in shift.
On Tuesday evening the Israeli police banned four Palestinians from al-Aqsa for a period of two weeks after they arrested them near the main entrance gates to the site and subjected them to intensive questioning at al-Qishleh detention center west of Occupied Jerusalem.
