On Tuesday, Israeli settlers stormed the courtyards of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque in the occupied city of East Jerusalem in the central West Bank, under the protection of the Israeli occupation police.
The Palestinian News Agency "Wafa" reported that settlers stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque in successive groups from the direction of the Mughrabi Gate, and carried out provocative tours, and performed Talmudic rituals in its courtyards. The Israeli occupation forces also intensified 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 the Palestinian 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.
