Headed by right-wing rabbi, dozens of extremist Israeli settlers break into al-Aqsa Mosque
Occupied Palestine (QNN) – Dozens of extremist Israeli settlers, headed by a right-wing rabbi, on Tuesday broke into the courtyards of the al-Aqsa Mosque, under full protection by Israeli forces.
According to the Jerusalem Islamic Waqf department, some 150 extremist Israeli settlers, including right-wing rabbi and former MK Yehuda Glick, broke into the al-Aqsa Mosque via the Maghariba gate and carried out provocative tours in its courtyards.
The department added that the settlers received explanations on the alleged ‘Temple Mount’ and performed Talmudic rituals in the eastern area of the mosque.
It indicated that the Israeli occupation authorities imposed tight restrictions on Palestinian worshippers seeking to access the Al-Aqsa Mosque and seize their IDs at its gates.
In the same context, worshipers, educational students, and guards of the al-Aqsa mosque who were present there defended it by chants and Takbeer (saying Allah Akbar), and hampered the settlers from roaming it freely.
It’s noteworthy that the al-Aqsa mosque Compound exposes on a daily basis to the storming of the Israeli settlers, at which they perform Talmudic rituals and discrete its sanctity.
‘Israel’ seeks through its storming to the al-Aqsa to devout the temporal and spatial division of the mosque and to Judaize the occupied Palestinian city of Jerusalem.
