Dozens of Jewish settlers led by the right-wing rabbi Yehudah Glick on Monday morning defiled al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem amid heavy police presence.
Jerusalem’s Islamic Awqaf Authority said that 119 settlers forced their way into al-Aqsa Mosque in the morning.
The settlers roamed al-Aqsa Mosque’s courtyards while receiving presentations on the alleged “Temple Mount” and performed Talmudic rituals.
Meanwhile restrictions on the Palestinian worshipers entering the site were tightened.
Settler break-ins into al-Aqsa Mosque are witnessed on a daily basis except Fridays and Saturdays.
