A horde of Jewish settlers led by Israel’s Minister of Agriculture Uri Ariel on Sunday stormed al-Aqsa Mosque under tight police guard.
The Islamic Awqaf said that Ariel and 17 Israeli settlers accompanied by a large police force broke into al-Aqsa Mosque in the morning and toured its courtyards.
After midnight on Sunday the Israeli police forced the Palestinian worshipers who remained at al-Aqsa Mosque after Tarawih prayers out of the site to clear way for the settlers.
