Guarded by Israeli forces, dozens colonial settlers storm Jeruslaem’s Al-Aqsa
Occupied Jerusalem (QNN)- Dozens of colonial Israeli settlers guarded by well-armed Israeli forces broke into Jerusalem’s Al-Aqsa Mosque on Tuesday morning, local sources reported.
While being guarded by well-armed Israeli forces, the settlers stormed the holy site, earlier today, through the Mughrabi Gate, one of the Gates of the Old City of Jerusalem and is under full-Israeli control. They performed provocative Talmudic rituals in the mosque’s courtyards before leaving through the Al-Silsila Gate.
