(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Dozens of Jewish extremists stormed al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied Jerusalem on Wednesday led by the extremist settler and activist Yehuda Glick, protected by Israeli police.

More than 30 Jewish settlers stormed al-Aqsa mosque since the early morning hours escorted by the extremist settler Yehuda Glick, eyewitnesses said.

The Israeli police stepped up its security measures at the gates of al-Aqsa mosque, where they searched the worshipers and students while entering the mosque. A state of anger prevailed among the worshipers.

For their turn, the Palestinian worshipers have intensified their presence in the mosque protesting the extremists' break-ins into the holy site, the sources added.

The Israeli authorities seek to impose a status quo and to divide the mosque between the Muslim and Jewish worshipers.
