Dozens of illegal Israeli settlers on Tuesday morning stormed the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque from El-Magharba Gate (Morocco Gate) under the protection of Israeli occupation forces, amid severe restrictions on the entry of Palestinians to the mosque.

The Palestinian Awqaf and Islamic Affairs Ministry reported that since the morning, dozens of settlers have stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque, organized provocative tours inside the mosque. Settlers performed Talmudic rituals near Bab al-Rahma area before leaving.

The so-called “Temple Groups” are preparing to carry out a series of Judaization programs and large-scale raids on Al-Aqsa Mosque during the Jewish holiday season, which begins on September 26 and lasts until October.
