Jewish settlers stormed on Tuesday the courtyards of the holy Al-Aqsa Mosque and performed provocative Talmudic rituals under heavy police protection.
Jerusalemite sources reported that 108 settlers including students of extremist religious institutes and Israeli intelligence officers defiled the courtyards of the Al-Aqsa Mosque in the morning period of the daily incursions.
The storming was carried out through groups from the Maghareba Gate to the al-Rahma Gate chapel during which they performed provocative tours.
The settler incursions are part of periodic tours aiming to change the fait accompli in the Holy City and Al-Aqsa Mosque.
During the evening incursions the Israeli police provided the settlers an additional half hour between 12:30 and 2:00 instead of 1:30.
