Jerusalem: Dozens of Israeli settlers stormed the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque on Monday under the protection of Israeli occupation police.

According to Qatar News Agency, dozens of colonists entered Al-Aqsa Mosque in groups, carrying out tours in its courtyards and performing Talmudic rituals under the protection of the occupation forces.

Since the start of Israeli aggression on the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and West Bank in October 2023, more than 68,000 colonists have entered Al-Aqsa Mosque under the protection of occupation forces. This has occurred amidst heightened entry procedures to the Mosque and the surrounding area.
