Days of Palestine – Jerusalem

Dozens of settlers stormed the courtyards of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque this morning, Tuesday (3/23), with close protection from the Israeli occupation forces and amid the performance of Talmudic rituals and the threat of worshipers in the eastern region.

The Islamic Endowments said in occupied Jerusalem that 82 settlers, including students of religious institutes, stormed Al-Aqsa during the morning period of the daily incursions launched from the Mughrabi Gate, and carried out provocative tours in its courtyards.

Jerusalem sources indicated that the extremist rabbi, "Yehuda Glick," led the storming groups of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, and performed Talmudic prayers in the mosque's courtyards, provoking provocations.

The sources added that the Israeli occupation forces threatened the worshipers from their presence in the eastern region of the mosque, and prevented them from being in the vicinity of the Bab al-Rahma prayer hall and the eastern region of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, to secure the way for the daily settler incursions.

The Israeli occupation and its settlers continue to storm the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque, where 569 settlers and dozens of Israeli soldiers stormed the mosque's courtyards last week and performed Talmudic rituals to protect the occupation forces.
