Groups of Israeli settlers, under the protection of Israeli police, on Tuesday morning broke into Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in Al Quds city, according to WAFA news agency.
Eyewitnesses said that dozens of settlers entered the holy site in groups, conducted provocative tours throughout the compound, and performed Talmudic rituals.
During the incursion, Israeli police imposed restrictions on the entry of Palestinian worshippers to the mosque.
Additionally, Israeli police intensified the restrictions at the gates of the old city, effectively turning the area into a military zone.
