Dozens of Israel extremist settlers on Wednesday morning, August 24, broke into the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque via Al-Maghariba gate under the protection of the Israeli occupation forces.

The Department of Islamic Endowments reported on Wednesday that groups of settlers, protected by Israeli occupation forces, have organized provocative tours at Al-Aqsa Mosque since the early hours of Monday. It added that settlers received lessons about their alleged temple during their tours.

On a daily basis, Israeli settlers carry out incursions into Al-Aqsa Mosque under the protection of Israeli occupation forces except on Fridays and Saturdays.

Meanwhile, Israeli occupation authorities impose suffocating restrictions on Palestinians’ entry to Al-Aqsa, the third holiest site in Islam, routinely banishing Muslim worshipers and denying them access to the mosque.
