AhlulBayt News Agency: Dozens of extremist Jewish settlers desecrated the Aqsa Mosque in Occupied al-Quds (Jerusalem) on Sunday morning and later in the afternoon.

According to al-Qastal News website, at least 147 settlers entered the Mosque in groups through its Maghariba Gate and toured its courtyards under tight police guard.

A number of settlers escorted by police officers also gathered in the eastern area of the Mosque and embarked on performing Talmudic prayers.

Meanwhile, the Israeli occupation police continued to impose restrictions on the entry of Muslim worshipers to the Mosque, and harassed a number of them during their presence in its courtyards and the entrances leading to it.

Recently, Jerusalemite activists have urged their compatriots to necessarily intensify their presence in the Aqsa Mosque compound during the coming days.

They stressed that the intensive presence of Muslim worshipers at the Aqsa Mosque is important to protect it against Judaization and desecration attempts by settlers, who plan to defile the holy site en masse during their upcoming Hanukkah holiday.
