SANAA, Aug 16 (YPA) – Dozens of Jewish settlers on Sunday stormed the Blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque from the Mughrabi Gate, with close protection from the Zionist special police.
According to Palestinian sources, the Islamic Endowments Department in occupied al-Quds stated that 103 settlers, including the extremist “Yehuda Glick” and 30 students from Jewish universities and institutes, stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque, and organized provocative tours in different parts of its courtyards.
The Islamic Endowments Department explained that the Jewish guides provided explanations about the alleged “Temple” of the settlers during the raid, while some of them tried to perform Talmudic rituals in Al-Aqsa Square, specifically on the eastern side of it.
The enemy police closed the Mughrabi Gate at eleven in the morning after the end of the morning period of the incursions, noting that there is another round after the noon prayer.
The enemy police stationed at the gates of Al-Aqsa seized some identities of the worshipers coming to the mosque from the city of al-Quds and inside the occupied Palestinians.
The enemy’s police opened the Mughrabi Gate at half past seven in the morning, and deployed its elements and special units in its squares and at the gates of Al-Aqsa, in preparation for securing full protection for settlers.
The blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque is exposed daily, except for Friday and Saturday, to incursions and provocations to worshipers by settlers and enemy forces that seek to impose control over it and divide it in time and space.
