Dozens of Jewish settlers stormed the al-Aqsa Mosque in Occupied Jerusalem on Monday morning under heavy military protection.
Local sources reported that the settlers stormed the holy site and toured its courtyards before they provocatively performed Talmudic rituals.
During their tours at the Islamic holy site the settlers received lectures from rabbis about the alleged temple mount.
The al-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.
