Dozens of Jewish settlers stormed the courtyards of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque in the occupied city of Jerusalem today, Monday, from the direction of the Moroccan Gate, under heavy guard from the Israeli occupation police.

The Islamic Endowments Department in Jerusalem reported in a statement that the settlers conducted provocative tours in the courtyards of the mosque and performed Talmudic rituals in its eastern area.

In contrast, the occupation forces continued to impose strict measures at the gates of the mosque, obstructing the entry of worshipers and confiscating their IDs.

Al-Aqsa Mosque is exposed daily, except for Fridays and Saturdays, to repeated violations and incursions by extremist settlers, under heavy protection from the occupation police, in an attempt to impose a new reality on the mosque through a plan for temporal and spatial division.
