New groups of Jewish settlers defile al-Aqsa

Dozens of Jewish settlers escorted by Zionist regime’s police forces forced their way into al-Aqsa Mosque in Occupied Al-Quds on Monday morning.

Local sources said that the settler groups broke into the holy site through its Maghariba Gate and toured its courtyards before provocatively performing Talmudic prayers.

During their tour at the Islamic holy site, the settlers received lectures from rabbis about the alleged temple mount.

Al-Aqsa Mosque is exposed to daily desecration by Jewish settlers and police forces in the morning and the afternoon except on Fridays and Saturdays.

The Israeli police close al-Maghariba Gate, which is used by Jews to enter the Mosque, at 10:30 am after the settlers complete their morning tours at the holy site. Later in the afternoon, the same gate is reopened for evening tours by settlers.

During the presence of settlers inside the Mosque compound, entry restrictions are imposed on Muslim worshipers at the entrances leading to the Mosque and their IDs could be seized until they leave the holy place.
