Dozens of Jewish settlers forced their way into al-Aqsa Mosque in Occupied Jerusalem on Wednesday morning under heavy police protection.
The Endowments Authority said in a brief statement that dozens of settlers stormed the holy Islamic site via the Magharibeh gate and carried out provocative tours and performed Talmudic rituals.
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.
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.
