About 60 Jewish settlers escorted by armed policemen stormed on Sunday morning the Aqsa Mosque and performed Talmudic rituals in its courtyard.
According to eyewitnesses, the number of Jewish settlers started to increase around the Mosque as there are Zionist groups calling on its followers to desecrate the Aqsa Mosque intensively during the season of the Jewish holidays which started this afternoon and would continue for a month.
The Israeli occupation forces have tightened since the morning hours their restrictions on the Palestinians visiting the Aqa Mosque and prevented hundreds of Palestinian worshipers from entering the Mosque.
However, there are already tens of Palestinian worshipers and young scholars inside the Mosque to defend it.
