Hundreds of Israeli settlers escorted by policemen stormed Jerusalem’s al-Aqsa Mosque on Wednesday through the Maghareba Gate.
Nearly 300 Israeli settlers and 15 intelligence officers toured the site as part of the morning break-in shift.
Over recent days tension has been running high at and around al-Aqsa Mosque after Israeli settlers locked the al-Rahma Gate before Muslim worshipers.
On Monday Muslim worshipers smashed the iron locks and chains stealthily set up by Israeli police overnight at al-Rahma Gate. Israeli cops violently attacked the Muslim worshipers and arrested scores of them including women.
