Israeli settlers on Tuesday stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied East Jerusalem in the central West Bank under the protection of Israeli occupation police, WAFA News Agency reported.
Eyewitnesses said that dozens of colonists 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.
The Israeli occupation forces turned the Old City of occupied East Jerusalem into a military zone, deploying hundreds of their forces at close intervals, especially at the gates of Al-Aqsa Mosque. They also intensified their military procedures at the gates of the mosque and the Old City, imposing restrictions on the entry of worshippers.
