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

According to Qatar News Agency, the Jerusalem Governorate reported that 80 settlers entered Al-Aqsa Mosque and performed provocative Talmudic rituals in its courtyards under the protection of occupation police. Additionally, 350 settlers accessed the compound through the tourism gate operated by the occupation authorities.

These incursions take place amid an ongoing escalation by settler groups, who routinely storm Al-Aqsa Mosque daily, except on Fridays and Saturdays, during morning and afternoon periods. The aim of these actions is to impose a temporal and spatial division of the mosque.

Last December, Al-Aqsa Mosque witnessed 27 incursions carried out by settlers, marking a continuation of violations against Islamic holy sites in the Holy City.
