AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Hordes of extremist Jewish settlers on Sunday morning desecrated the Aqsa Mosque in Occupied al-Quds (Jerusalem) under police protection.
According to the Islamic Awqaf Administration in the holy city, at least 84 settlers entered the Mosque in groups through its Maghariba Gate and toured its courtyards.
The settlers also received lectures from rabbis about the alleged temple mount and some of them performed Jewish prayers in the eastern area of the Islamic holy site.
Meanwhile, hundreds of Palestinians from al-Quds (Jerusalem) and the 1948 occupied territory flocked in the morning to the Mosque despite the police entry restrictions at its gates and entrances.
The Aqsa Mosque is exposed to daily desecration by Jewish settlers and police forces in the morning and the afternoon except on Fridays and Saturdays.
The Israeli police close al-Maghariba Gate, which is used by Jews to enter the Mosque, at 10:30 am after the settlers complete their morning tours at the holy site. Later in the afternoon, the same gate is reopened for evening tours by settlers.
During the presence of settlers inside the Mosque compound, entry restrictions are imposed on Muslim worshipers at the entrances leading to the Mosque and their IDs are seized until they leave the holy place.
