Guarded by Israeli occupation police, extremist settlers stormed Holy Al-Aqsa Mosque through the Magharaba Gate this Tuesday morning, as widespread restrictions were imposed on Palestinian worshippers’ entry.
The Islamic Waqf (Endowment) Department in occupied Jerusalem reported that 168 settlers, including 76 Jewish students, carried out raids into Al-Aqsa during morning and afternoon sessions, touring its courtyards. The settlers received briefings on the so-called “Temple” and performed Talmudic rituals in the Bab al-Rahma area east of the mosque.
Meanwhile, occupation forces tightened measures against Palestinians, restricting worshippers’ access and holding their IDs at the mosque’s external gates.
Palestinian calls continue for increased presence and solidarity at Al-Aqsa Mosque, amid escalating settler attacks and attempts to impose new Judaization facts on the Holy Site.
