Dozens of extremist settlers stormed the courtyards of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied Jerusalem on Wednesday, organizing provocative tours under heavy security protection from the Israeli occupation police. Jerusalemite sources said that 100 settlers stormed Al-Aqsa during the morning period, under the protection of the occupation police and armed special forces. The sources explained that the settlers stormed from the direction of the 'Moroccans' Gate', which has been under full Israeli control since 1967, and performed Talmudic rituals and prayers in the courtyards, and received explanations about the 'alleged Temple', before leaving through the 'Chain Gate'. Concurrently, the police imposed severe restrictions on young men and worshippers and prevented some from entering. Settler groups storm Al-Aqsa daily except Friday and Saturday, in two periods, morning and evening. These incursions coincide with escalating practices inside the mosque, including performing Talmudic rituals, 'epic prostration', and raising Israeli flags, constituting a violation of the historical and legal status quo. According to observers, these incursions have gone beyond traditional visits to exert continuous pressure to impose new facts, ultimately entrenching temporal and spatial division.
