Dozens extremist Israeli settlers break into Al-Aqsa in Jerusalem
Occupied Jerusalem (QNN)- Since the early morning hours of Mondag, dozens of extremist Israeli settlers have broken into the Al-Aqsa Mosque in the occupied city of Jerusalem, provoking Palestinian worshipers. Over 50 Israeli settlers, including Jewish students, broke into the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque during the morning break-in session, under the occupation forces protection, and their incursions to the mosque continue till this moment. The settlers entered through the Damascus Gate- which Palestinians call Bab al-Amud Gate. They are now provoking the Palestinian worshipers by performing Talmudic prayers in the courtyards of the holy site. Israeli occupation authorities have allowed settler incursions to the mosque since 2003, under the forces' protection. Since the start of 2021, 34,562 settlers broke into the holy site, setting a new record, as in 2020, 19,000 settlers broke into the mosque and 29,700 settlers in 2019, according to Al-Qastal, a Palestinian network hub for Palestinians in occupied Jerusalem. There have been repeated objections and warnings by the Palestinian religious authorities as the settlers' incursions provoke Palestinian worshippers of the mosque. Israeli forces always facilitate and protect the settlers while preventing Palestinian worshipers from entering it, assaulting and detaining them. The Al-Aqsa mosque is one of the holiest sites in Islam. Jews refer to the area as the Temple Mount, claiming it was the site of two prominent Jewish temples in ancient times. The complex also includes the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, one of the most sacred Christian sites in the world.
