Some 48 ultraorthodox Jewish settlers on Sunday raided the al-Aqsa Mosque / Haram al-Sharif compound in occupied Jerusalem, according to the Islamic Awqaf Department.
In a statement, the department said that the settlers stormed the mosque’s yards from the al-Magharebah Gate, under the heavy protection of the Israeli occupation police, and performed Talmudic rituals.
The settlers have upped their raids on the al-Aqsa Mosque over the past few days as the Israeli occupation forces clamped down on Jerusalemites and closed several roads in the city, using Jewish holidays as a pretext.
