Israeli settlers seize 150 dunums in the Valley of Jordan

Occupied Al-Quds, (ST) – on Sunday, the Israeli settlers seized tens of dunams of land in the northern Valley of Jordan in the occupied West Bank.

Wafa News Agency reported that settlers stormed into the south of Mufia Plain in the Valley of Jordan, and seized 150 dunums of agricultural land to expand settlement operations in the area.

Yesterday, the occupation forces prevented the Palestinians from plowing their lands in the Mufia plain, and confiscated several agricultural tractors.

Scores of Israeli settlers break into Al-Asqa Mosque

On the other hand, scores of Israeli settler fanatics guarded by police today broke into the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in occupied Al-Quds (Jerusalem), according to local sources, Wafa News Agency reported.

The Jordan-run Islamic Waqf Department, in charge of the holy site, said scores of Israeli settlers entered the compound through the Al-Maghrabeh Gate in groups and performed rituals and Talmudic prayers there under the protection of Israeli police officers.

Since 2003, the Israeli occupation authorities have been allowing settlers into the compound almost on a daily basis, with the exclusion of Friday, the Muslim day of rest and worship.

Israel captured East Al-Quds (Jerusalem), where Al-Aqsa Mosque is located, during the Six-Day War in 1967 in a move never recognized by the international community.
