Jerusalem: Israeli settlers stormed the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied Jerusalem under the protection of the Israeli occupation police.

According to Qatar News Agency, citing eyewitnesses, dozens of settlers entered Al-Aqsa Mosque in groups, conducted tours in its courtyards, and performed Talmudic rituals while being shielded by the occupation forces.

Since the onset of the comprehensive Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank in October 2023, over 68,000 settlers have entered Al-Aqsa Mosque. This has occurred under the protection of Israeli occupation forces, with increased entry restrictions to the mosque and the gates of the Old City.
