AhlulBayt Hundreds of extremist Jewish settlers desecrated the Aqsa Mosque in Occupied Jerusalem on Sunday to mark the fourth day of the Sukkot holiday in its courtyards.
The Islamic Awqaf Administration in the holy city said that 1,390 settlers defiled the Aqsa Mosque in different groups under police escort in the morning hours.
According to the Wadi Hilweh Information Center, a number of settlers violated the Islamic sanctity of the Mosque through blowing the shofar, carrying palm fronds and performing Talmudic prayers at its gates and the eastern area of the holy site.
The Israeli occupation police continued today to block the Bab al-Asbat road and prevent vehicles from moving in the area to secure settlers’ access to the Aqsa Mosque’s western wall.
Jerusalemite citizens have recently complained that settlers celebrating the Sukkot holiday assaulted them and their property as they walked through the Old City’s streets.
Meanwhile, the office of the Jerusalem governorate said on Sunday 52,710 Jewish settlers had defiled the Aqsa Mosque since the Israeli genocidal war on Gaza started on October 7, 2023.
Since the one-week Sukkot holiday started last Thursday, the Israeli police have closed many roads and neighborhoods in Jerusalem, intensified the presence of its forces inside and around the city, banished several Palestinians from the Aqsa Mosque, and summoned others for interrogation.
