132 Israeli settlers invaded on Tuesday, August 8, 2023, the courtyards of the revered Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem. The incursion was carried out with strong backing from Israeli occupation forces.
According to sources from Jerusalem, a total of 77 settlers and 55 Israeli soldiers infiltrated the grounds of the Al-Aqsa Mosque through the Moroccan Gate during the morning hours, in successive groups.
These sources emphasized that the settlers approached the Al-Aqsa Mosque in organized groups, under tight security protection. They roamed through its courtyards, receiving explanations about the alleged Temple, before leaving through the Chain Gate area.
The settlers conducted public Talmudic rituals and prayers in the eastern part of the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound.
