Two members of the Knesset (Israeli parliament) and dozens of fanatic settlers stormed on Tuesday morning holy al-Aqsa Mosque in a tension-provoking move.
Reporting from Occupied Jerusalem a PIC news correspondent said extremist MK Yehuda Glick accompanied by 25 Israeli settlers broke into al-Aqsa. Shortly after another MK from the Jewish Home party along with 21 settlers showed up at the site.
Presentations on the history of the alleged temple mount were delivered all the way through the break-ins.
At the same time the Israeli police have come down heavily on the Muslim guards and peaceful worshipers at al-Aqsa.
On August 23 Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave a green light for Tuesday break-ins at al-Aqsa by Israeli MKs in anticipation of further escalation at the holy site.
Meanwhile Jerusalem’s Islamic authorities called on the Palestinians to intensify presence at the site so as to defend it against Israel’s sacrilegious schemes.
