Days Of Palestine – Jerusalem

Thousands of Jewish settlers on Monday night swarmed the Aqsa Mosque’s western wall plaza to perform rituals on the occasion of Yom Kippur, amid tight police restrictions on the movement of Jerusalemite citizens.

Meanwhile, the Israeli occupation police have intensified the presence of its forces in the Old City of Jerusalem and at the Aqsa Mosque and its vicinity, closed roads and restricted the movement of native residents.

During the last few days, the Israeli police also allowed hundreds of settlers to defile the Aqsa Mosque after extremist Jewish groups called for mass break-ins at the Islamic holy site.
