Dozens of Zionist settlers storm Al-Aqsa Mosque

OCCUPIED PALESTINE, Jan. 16 (YPA) – Dozens of Israeli settlers stormed the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque in East Jerusalem in the central West Bank, on Thursday, under heavy protection from the Israeli occupation police and they tightened their measures at the gates of Al-Aqsa Mosque and the entrances to the Old City of Jerusalem.

The Palestinian News Agency (WAFA) reported that dozens of settlers stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque in successive groups from the direction of the Moroccan Gate, which has been controlled by the Israeli occupation authorities since 1967, and performed Talmudic rituals in its courtyards.

The occupation police have intensified their presence at the gates of Al-Aqsa Mosque in the vicinity of the Old City in East Jerusalem, obstructing the entry of worshipers into Al-Aqsa Mosque, and continuing their aggression against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank since October 2023.

Previously, the Israeli occupation artillery targeted the Indonesian Hospital in the northern Gaza Strip, and Israeli shelling of a house in Jabalia al-Balad in the northern Gaza Strip caused injuries.
