Dozens of Jewish extremist settlers early Wednesday stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque/ al-Haram al-Sharif compound in occupied East Jerusalem. A statement by 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 police, who restricted Muslim worshippers’ access to the mosque. “Groups of the settlers toured the mosque’s yards and performed Talmudic rituals in the eastern part of the compound,” it added. Every day, except for Friday and Saturday, Al-Aqsa Mosque witnesses a series of settler incursions, protected by the occupation police, in an attempt to impose full control over the mosque and divide it temporally and spatially.
