 Dozens of Jewish extremist settlers on Sunday stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque/ al-Haram al-Sharif compound in occupied East Jerusalem.

In a statement, the General Islamic Endowments Department in Jerusalem indicated that the settlers carried out today’s raids through al-Magharebah Gate under the heavy protection of Israeli police, who restricted Muslim worshippers’ access to the mosque.

“The settlers toured the mosque’s yards, listened to explanations about the purported ‘Temple Mount’, and provocatively performed their Talmudic rituals in the Bab al-Rahma area and in front of the Dome of the Rock before they left from Al-Silsila Gate,” it added.
