OCCUPIED AL-QUDS, Jul.31, (ST)- Groups of Israeli settlers escorted by police broke today into the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in occupied Jerusalem and performed rituals in some of its courtyards, according to witnesses.
Palestinian media outlets reported that 153 Israeli settlers stormed into the holy site through the Moroccan Gate in groups and performed rituals and Talmudic prayers there under the protection of Israeli police officers.
Since 2003, the Israeli occupation authorities have allowed settlers into the compound almost on a daily basis.
