Dozens of Israeli Jewish settlers invaded the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied Jerusalem under the protection of Israeli occupation forces on Sunday morning, February 5, 2023.

The Palestinian Department of Islamic Endowment in occupied Jerusalem reported that dozens of Israeli extremist settlers broke into Al-Aqsa Mosque and carried out provocative tours at its courtyards.

It added that Israeli settlers performed provocative Talmudic rituals under heavy guard from Israeli occupation forces.

On a daily basis, Israeli settlers carry out incursions into the blessed Mosque in Jerusalem and provocatively perform Talmudic rituals under the protection of Israeli occupation forces.

Meanwhile, Israeli occupation authorities impose suffocating restrictions on the Palestinians’ entry to Al-Aqsa Mosque, regularly banning worshippers from entering the holy Mosque.

In addition, Palestinians in occupied Jerusalem continue their calls to mobilize at Al-Aqsa to confront the Israeli incursions, which increased with the beginning of the Netanyahu government.

Israeli settlers, ordered by Itamar Ben-Gvir, have escalated their incursions into Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied Jerusalem since the start of 2023.

Ben-Gvir’s recent raid in Al-Aqsa earlier in January 2023, the first carried out by an Israeli minister since 2017, triggered wide condemnation from Palestinian, Arab, and International parties and governments.

Palestinian figures showed earlier on Tuesday that 4516 Israeli Jewish settlers have invaded the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem since the start of January 2023.
