A group of Israeli settlers, accompanied by Israeli occupation forces IOF, invaded the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque through the Al-Maghariba gate, engaging in provocative rituals on Monday, July 10, 2023.
The Department of Islamic Endowments in occupied Jerusalem confirmed that a significant number of Israeli settlers conducted these provocative rituals within the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque under the protection of IOF.
This recurring pattern of intrusion by Israeli settlers onto the holy site has become a growing concern. The settlers frequently perform Talmudic rituals, which are viewed by the Muslim Palestinian community as provocative and an infringement upon the sanctity of the site.
The repeated incursions into the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound are seen as deliberate attempts to establish a temporal and spatial division within the sacred grounds.
However, such a proposal is vehemently rejected and condemned by the Muslim Palestinian community, as it threatens the unity and integrity of the site.
Recent reports in June have brought to light a proposed Israeli plan to divide the Al-Aqsa Mosque between Jews and Muslims, intensifying tensions and exacerbating existing concerns.
These developments have spurred Palestinians in occupied Jerusalem to amplify their calls for mobilization at the Al-Aqsa Mosque, aiming to counter the planned mass incursions by Israeli settlers and protect the sanctity of the holy site.
Based on the report from the Jerusalem-based “Al-Qastal” news network, a significant number of around 4,000 Israeli settlers invaded the Al-Aqsa Mosque during the month of June 2023.
