Dozens of Israeli settlers escorted by policemen stormed on Sunday morning the plazas of holy al-Aqsa Mosque in Occupied Jerusalem.
Israeli special forces broke into al-Aqsa Mosque via the Maghareba Gate and cordoned off its plazas shortly before 69 settlers showed up at the site and performed sacrilegious rituals.
The Israeli settlers attended sermons on the history of the alleged Temple Mount.
At the same time 15 Israeli intelligence officers broke into the site during the morning break-in shift.
Dozens more are expected to storm al-Aqsa—Muslims’ third holiest site—during the afternoon shift.
