Palestinian Endowments Ministry: The occupation continues its violations of sanctities

The Palestinian Minister of Endowments Hatem Al-Bakri said that the Israeli occupation continues its violations of the holy sites, especially the Al-Aqsa Mosque, as settlers carried out 22 acts of storming into the mosque under the protection of the occupation forces during the past month.

Wafa news agency quoted Al-Bakri as saying today: “Four thousand settlers stormed Al-Aqsa while the occupation authorities continued their siege and desecration of the mosque by imposing a policy of inspection and harassing Palestinian worshipers coming to pray in it and preventing many from entering the mosque, in addition to pursuing the men and women stationed there”.

Al-Bakri added: “The occupation prevented the call to prayer in the Ibrahimi Mosque for 47 times and closed it for one day during the past month, indicating that the occupation forces and settlers also attacked five mosques in the city of Al-Khalil, and further seized areas of endowment land in the city of Ariha in the West Bank.
