Jerusalem: Colonists stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque on Thursday, under the protection of the Israeli occupation police.
According to Qatar News Agency, colonists entered Al-Aqsa Mosque in groups via the Mughrabi Gate, conducted tours in its courtyards, and performed Talmudic rituals. The occupation police also intensified their military measures at the entrances to the Old City and Al-Aqsa Mosque.
Since the start of the wide-ranging Israeli aggression against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank in October 2023, over 68,000 colonists have entered Al-Aqsa Mosque with the backing of occupation forces. This has occurred alongside increased entry restrictions to both the mosque and the Old City.
