A group of Jewish settlers stormed Thursday morning al-Aqsa Mosque under heavy police protection.
Eyewitnesses reported that the settlers broke into the Mosque through al-Maghariba Gate and toured its courtyards where they performed Talmudic rituals.
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.
