Alwaght- A Group of extremist Zionist settlers escorted by the Israeli police on Sunday morning stormed al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied al-Quds (Jerusalem) to perform Talmudic rituals.
Local sources say that 19 settlers entered the Mosque via al-Maghareba Gate in the early morning hours. More settlers are expected to break into the holy site later in the day.
The settlers roamed the courtyards of al-Aqsa Mosque under heavy police protection.
Settlers' incursions into al-Aqsa Mosque are carried out on a daily basis in the presence of a large number of Israeli policemen and special forces especially in the early morning hours because of the small number of Palestinian worshipers in the Mosque at this time.
Last Wednesday, scores of extremist Zionist settlers, escorted by the Israeli regime’s forces, desecrated al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied al-Quds.
Palestinians and Muslims all over the world are extremely angry at Israeli attacks on the al-Aqsa Mosque, considering them the desecration of the holy Islamic site
Palestinians have declared al-Quds as the capital of a future Palestinian independent state, and that its heritage should remain intact.
The situation in al-Quds escalated last December when US President Donald Trump sparked global anger on December 6, by declaring that Washington would recognize al-Quds as the “capital” of Israel and move the American embassy from Tel Aviv to the holy city.
The United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution by a decisive vote of 128 to 9 to urge Trump to reverse his contentious decision.
