84 Israeli settlers escorted by police officers stormed on Sunday morning holy al-Aqsa Mosque.
A horde of Israeli settlers broke into al-Aqsa Mosque via the Maghareba Gate as part of the morning break-in shift that concluded at 10:30 a.m.
At the same time the Israeli forces banned 20 Palestinians from al-Aqsa Mosque for periods of up to six months.
Over recent weeks Israeli settlers stepped up calls for mass break-ins at al-Aqsa—Muslims’ third holiest site—to mark the Jewish holiday of Passover.
