Dozens of extremist Jewish settlers break into Al-Aqsa Mosque compound

QUDS, Aug. 04 (YPA) -Dozens of extremist Jewish settlers stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound on Monday morning, under heavy protection from Israeli occupation forces.

According to the Islamic Waqf Department, the settlers raided the holy Islamic Mosque from al-Maghariba gate. They carried out provocative tours inside the mosque grounds and performed Talmudic rituals and prayers.

Meanwhile, Israeli occupation forces continued to impose tight restrictions on Palestinian worshippers, seizing their ID cards at the mosque’s outer gates and obstructing their access.

Al-Aqsa Mosque faces near-daily incursions and violations by settlers—except on Fridays and Saturdays—under the protection of Israeli police, in what is widely seen as part of efforts to impose a temporal and spatial division of the mosque.
