97 Israelis including 40 soldiers in their military uniforms stormed Tuesday al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied Jerusalem under heavy police protection.
Quds Press affirmed that 57 Israeli settlers and 40 soldiers stormed the Mosque via al-Magharibeh gate under the protection of heavily-armed Special Forces.
Earlier Tuesday a security guard in al-Aqsa Mosque compound was arrested and taken for investigation in a nearby police station before being released soon afterwards.
Right-wing Israeli organizations called for intensifying settler break-ins into al-Aqsa especially during Jewish holidays although the UNESCO had declared it a purely Islamic site.
