Over 33 Jewish settlers on Monday stormed the plazas of al-Aqsa Mosque hours prior to the visit of the US Vice President Michael Pence to al-Burq Wall within the holy site.
Jerusalemite sources told Quds Press that the incursion took place in the morning hours from the Israeli-controlled al-Magharebah gate.
Israeli police have been deployed in the neighborhoods of the holy city since Monday morning amid tightened security measures. The police security moves included the closure of many roads and the erection of military barriers for inspecting Palestinian youths before Pence’s visit.
