Hundreds of settlers storm into Al Aqsa Mosque

Today, hundreds of Israeli settlers stormed into Al Aqsa Mosque.

Wafa Agency reported that about 400 settlers have stormed into Al Aqsa Mosque since 7 in the morning and carried out provocative tours in the courtyard of the mosque and in front of the Dome of the Rock under heavy protection by the occupation forces.

The occupation forces imposed severe restrictions on the entry of worshipers arriving from Al Quds (Jerusalem) and the Palestinian territories occupied in 1948 to Al-Aqsa, and prevented students from entering their schools inside the mosque. They also prevented women from praying and being present at its doors, while they detained a photojournalist while he was in the mosque.

The Palestinians call for mobilization in Al Quds and Al-Aqsa in the coming days to confront settlers’ incursions and thwart the occupation’s Judaization plans.

For the second day, the occupation forces continue to close a number of streets in the city of Al Quds (Jerusalem) and intensify checkpoints in the Old City, which was turned into a military barracks, which led to the obstruction of Palestinian traffic. Despite the  occupation’s arbitrary measures, Palestinian worshipers performed the dawn prayer in the Al-Qibli prayer hall of the mosque.

Yesterday, 675 settlers stormed into Al-Aqsa Mosque.
