Dozens of Jewish settlers defile al-Aqsa Mosque

Monday 18-October-2021

Dozens of Jewish settlers forced their way into the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Occupied Jerusalem on Monday under heavy police protection.

Eyewitnesses said that the settlers guarded by Israeli police broke into the holy site through its Al-Magharba Gate southwest of the Mosque and performed provocative tours in its courtyards.

An Israeli court has recently ruled deeming the performance of Jewish silent prayer within the Al-Aqsa Mosque premises not a “criminal act”.

The court order ignited fears among Palestinians that the move is a prelude to divide the holy site between Muslims and Jews in terms of time and space.
