Dozens of Israeli settlers on Thursday morning forced their way into al-Aqsa Mosque under the protection of police forces.
Jerusalemite sources said that 62 settlers stormed al-Aqsa via the Israeli-controlled al-Magharibeh gate flanked by heavily armed police forces.
The settlers performed Talmudic prayers and religious rituals during their tours the sources added.
On the other hand Israel’s Nature And Parks Authority (INPA) continues to demolish parts of the outer wall of Bab al-Rahma cemetery in occupied Jerusalem as a prelude to confiscate parts of the cemetery for a national park trail.
