Jerusalem: Dozens of colonists stormed on Thursday the courtyards of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque in Occupied Jerusalem (Al-Quds), under the protection of the Israeli occupation police.

According to Qatar News Agency, Palestinian news agency (WAFA) reported eyewitnesses as saying that dozens of colonists stormed Al-Aqsa, performed Talmudic rituals before the Dome of the Rock, and chanted loudly in the presence of Palestinian worshippers.

Since the beginning of the comprehensive Israeli genocide against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank in October 2023, more than 68,000 colonists have stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque under the protection of Israeli occupation forces (IOF), amid tightened entry restrictions to the mosque and the entrances to the Old City.
