A group of extremist Jewish settlers, Thursday dawn, stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque/ Haram Al Sharif compound in the occupied Jerusalem, a Palestinian source confirmed.

The General Director of the Islamic Awqaf and Al-Aqsa Affairs, Sheikh Azzam Al-Khatib, told Petra’s reporter in Ramallah that today’s raid was carried out by more than150 extremists, who entered from Al- Magharebah Gate and left from Bab al- Selseleh Gate, under heavy protection of Israeli police and army forces.

The Israeli police stationed at the gates of Al-Aqsa Mosque imposed strict measures against the entry of Muslim worshipers to their holy shrine seizing some of the locals’ IDs outside gates.

Under the slogan “Together we prevent Muslims from taking control of Bab al-Rahmeh (known also as the Golden Gate), the so called “Temple Mount” organizations called on thousands of Jewish settlers and supporters to storm Al-Aqsa Mosque, early Thursday, to allow Israel take control of the Muslim’s holy shrine.
