Jerusalem: Israeli settlers stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound on Sunday under the protection of Israeli occupation forces.
According to Qatar News Agency, the Palestinian news agency Wafa, citing the Jerusalem Governorate, reported that 648 settlers entered the mosque compound and performed Talmudic and provocative rituals in its courtyards while under the protection of occupation forces.
The Al-Aqsa Mosque has faced increasing incursions by settlers since the start of Israel’s assault on the Gaza Strip, a development viewed as a serious escalation and a violation of the sanctity of the mosque.
