Before the sacrilegious incursion on Sunday, Israeli regime forces unlocked the Maghareba Gate and cordoned off the plazas of al-Aqsa Mosque.
At the same time, dozens of Muslim men and women from occupied al-Quds have been prevented by the Israeli regime forces from praying at the site.
The assault makes part of the morning break-in shift launched by fanatic Zionist settlers at 07:00 a.m. at holy al-Aqsa Mosque—the third holiest site in Islam.
Palestinian Islamic institutions have warned of Israeli regime's plots against al-Aqsa Mosque amid intensification of Zionist settlers' desecration of the holy Islamic site.
Over the past decades, the Israeli regime has tried to change the demographic makeup of al-Quds by constructing illegal settlements, destroying historical sites and expelling the local Palestinian population.
Palestinians have declared al-Quds as the capital of a future Palestinian independent state, and that its heritage should remain intact.
The al-Aqsa mosque, which lies in the Israeli-occupied Old City of al-Quds, is a flashpoint and is Islam’s third-holiest site after Mecca and Medina.
