Dozens of Israeli Jewish settlers, protected by Israeli occupation forces, invaded on Monday morning, August 22, the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque via the Al-Maghariba gate.

The Department of Islamic Environment in Jerusalem reported that dozens of settlers broke into the Al-Aqsa Mosque, performing provocative rituals. It added that settlers received lectures about their alleged Temple during their provocative 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.

On Sunday, at least 205 Israeli settlers broke into Al-Aqsa, performing provocative rituals. Meanwhile, Israeli occupation authorities impose restrictions on Palestinians’ entry to Al-Aqsa Mosque.
