Dozens of Jewish settlers stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque through the Maghariba Gate under heavy police protection on Wednesday morning.
The Islamic Endowments in Occupied Jerusalem reported that the settlers received lectures from rabbis about the alleged temple mount and provocatively performed Talmudic prayers near the Bab al-Rahma area.
The Aqsa Mosque is exposed to daily desecration by Jewish settlers and police forces in the morning and the afternoon except on Fridays and Saturdays.
The Israeli police close al-Maghariba Gate which is used by Jews to enter the Mosque at 10:30 am after the settlers complete their morning tours at the holy site. Later in the afternoon the same gate is reopened for evening tours by settlers.
During the presence of settlers inside the Mosque compound entry restrictions are imposed on Muslim worshipers at the entrances leading to the Mosque and their IDs could be seized until they leave the holy place.
