Hardline settlers storm Al-Aqsa Mosque

Scores of Jewish extremist settlers early Tuesday stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque/ al-Haram al-Sharif compound in occupied East Jerusalem, according to an official Palestinian source. In a statement, the General Islamic Endowments Department in Jerusalem said that the settlers carried out today’s raids through al-Magharebah Gate under the heavy protection of Israeli escort, who restricted Muslim worshippers’ access to the mosque to secure the settlers’ incursions. “The settlers provocatively toured the Mosque’s yards and performed Talmudic rituals amid a state of anger inside the compound,” it added.
