Dozens of extremist Jewish settlers desecrated the Aqsa Mosque in Occupied Jerusalem on Tuesday morning and later in the afternoon.
According to local sources at least 248 settlers escorted by police officers entered the Mosque in groups through its Maghariba Gate and toured its courtyards under police protection.
During their tours at the Islamic holy site the settlers received lectures from rabbis about the alleged temple mount and a number of them performed Talmudic prayers in the eastern area of the Mosque.
Meanwhile the Israeli occupation police imposed movement and entry restrictions on Muslim worshipers at the Aqsa Mosque’s entrances and gates.
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.
