Dozens of Jewish settlers forced their way into al-Aqsa Mosque in Occupied Jerusalem on Wednesday morning under heavy police protection.

The Waqf (Endowments) Authority said that dozens of settlers stormed the holy Islamic site accompanied by rabbis via the Magharibeh gate under heavy police protection.

It also said that the settlers performed Talmudic rituals during their tours in the holy site.

The Aqsa Mosque is exposed to daily desecration by Jewish settlers and police forces in the morning and the afternoon except on Fridays and Saturdays.

The Israeli police close al-Maghariba Gate which is used by Jews to enter the Mosque at 10:30 am after the settlers complete their morning tours at the holy site. Later in the afternoon the same gate is reopened for evening tours by settlers.

During the presence of settlers inside the Mosque compound entry restrictions are imposed on Muslim worshipers at the entrances leading to the Mosque and their IDs could be seized until they leave the holy place.

OCCUPIED JERUSALEM (PIC)– Fanatic rabbi Yehuda Glick stormed the Aqsa Mosque in occupied Jerusalem on Sunday morning along with a group of settlers.

Local sources told the PIC reporter that Glick briefed the settlers on the myth of the alleged temple as small groups of other settlers entered the holy site and provocatively toured its various plazas.

Hundreds of school students from occupied Jerusalem had entered the Aqsa Mosque and toured its courtyards and utilities since the early morning hours.

Israeli policemen imposed restrictions on Palestinians wishing to enter the Aqsa Mosque and confiscated the IDs of young men and women during their stay in the compound.
