Groups of settlers defile Aqsa Mosque under police guard

Sunday 30-October-2016

Different groups of Jewish settlers escorted by police forces on Sunday morning desecrated anew the Aqsa Mosque’s western courtyards.

At an early morning hour the Israeli police deployed its forces in different parts of the Mosque’s courtyards before allowing settler groups to enter through al-Maghariba Gate.

During their tours at the Islamic holy site some settlers tried to perform rituals and refrained from doing so after they saw angry reactions from Muslim worshipers who loudly chanted religious slogans.

Outside the Mosque’s gates the Israeli police prevented several Jerusalemite citizens including women from entering because there were still Israeli orders banning their presence in the Islamic holy shrine.
