Dozens of settlers stormed the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque today, Wednesday, under heavy protection from the Israeli occupation police.

Local sources reported that dozens of settlers stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque in successive groups from the Al-Maghariba Gate and performed Talmudic rituals in its courtyards.

The same sources added that the occupation police increased their presence at the gates of Al-Aqsa Mosque and around the Old City, and obstructed the entry of worshipers into the mosque.

Since the beginning of the comprehensive Israeli aggression against our people in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, in October 2023, the occupation forces have tightened their measures at the gates of Al-Aqsa Mosque and the entrances to the Old City.

Terrorist settler gangs stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque courtyards 256 times during the year 2024.
