Dozens of Jewish settlers forced their way into al-Aqsa Mosque on Wednesday morning under heavy police guard while restrictions on the entry of Palestinian worshipers were tightened.
Jerusalem’s Islamic Awqaf Department said that 148 Israeli settlers including 7 intelligence officers broke into al-Aqsa Mosque in the morning.
The settlers performed Talmudic rituals and roamed the site while receiving presentations on the alleged “Temple Mount”.
Meanwhile the Israeli police forces stationed at al-Aqsa gates tightened restrictions on the Palestinian worshipers entering the mosque and scrutinized their IDs.
Except for Fridays and Saturdays the Israeli police allow mass break-ins by Israeli settlers into al-Aqsa Mosque every day which serves an Israeli scheme to Judaize the site.
