Dozens of Israeli settlers on Monday morning broke into al-Aqsa Mosque in Occupied Jerusalem under police guard.

Jerusalem’s Islamic Awqaf Department said that 102 Jewish settlers stormed al-Aqsa Mosque while escorted by Israeli police forces.

The settlers performed Talmudic rituals and roamed the site while receiving presentations on the alleged “Temple Mount” before they left through al-Silsila Gate.

Meanwhile tight restrictions were imposed on the Palestinian worshipers entering al-Aqsa Mosque. The Israeli police officers stationed at al-Aqsa gates searched them and scrutinized their IDs and many worshipers were ordered to stay outside the mosque.

Scores of Israeli extremist settlers stormed Monday morning al-Aqsa Mosque under heavy police protection.

Some 104 Jewish settlers in successive groups broke into al-Aqsa in the morning via the Magharibeh gate. They were escorted by large numbers of Israeli policemen and Special Forces. Israeli police restrict entry of Muslim worshipers into the holy shrine during the settlers’ tours.

Israeli fanatic settlers routinely force their way into the Mosque on almost daily basis in total provocation to Palestinian worshipers.

Last week witnessed the incursion of hundreds of Jewish settlers into the holy site at the pretext of celebrating Jewish holidays while these days they are celebrating Hanukkah Holiday.
