17 Israeli settlers storm Al-Aqsa Mosque

OCCUPIED AL_QUDS,(ST)_Seventeen Israeli settlers stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque on Thursday from the side of “Al-Magharbeh” Gate and carried out provocative tours in the mosque’s courtyards under heavy protection from the Israeli occupation forces.

The Israeli settlers, backed by the occupation forces, carry out daily provocative raids on Al-Aqsa Mosque in a bid to impose a fait accompli regarding the controlling and judaizing of the Al-Aqsa Compound.

In another development, the Israeli occupation forces demolished 2 houses owned by Palestinians in Qalansuwa city and infiltrated into Gaza’s borders east of Deir Al-Balah city in the central Gaza Strip, and razed farmlands, according to WAFA agency.

The agency said that at the same time, the Israeli occupation forces flooded farmlands east of Gaza City after it emptied basins used for  collecting rainwater.

Every year, the Israeli occupation forces open the basins during winter to empty them and allow the water to flood and destroy Palestinian land in the Gaza Strip.
