AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): A large number of Jewish settlers on Wednesday morning desecrated the Aqsa Mosque in Occupied al-Quds (Jerusalem).
At least 126 settlers, including 55 students of Hebrew institutes and 10 government officials, entered the Mosque in groups through its Maghariba Gate and toured its courtyards under police escort, according to local sources.
A number of settlers were seen performing prayers or rituals during their tours at the Islamic holy site.
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 could be seized until they leave the holy place.
