Occupied Quds - Saba:
Dozens of Zionist settlers stormed the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque through the Mughrabi Gate on Wednesday morning, under heavy protection from Israeli occupation forces.
According to the Palestinian SAFA News Agency, the Islamic Endowments Department in occupied Quds reported that dozens of settlers stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque, organized provocative tours of its courtyards, and performed Talmudic rituals in the eastern part of the mosque.
Israeli police imposed strict restrictions on Palestinian worshippers' access to Al-Aqsa and confiscated the ID cards of some worshippers at its outer gates.
Calls continue to intensify the presence and pilgrimage to Al-Aqsa Mosque, in light of the escalating violations by Israeli occupation forces and settlers.
The calls emphasized the importance of maintaining the continuity of the presence at Al-Aqsa Mosque and of mobilizing at the site on a regular basis to protect it from the enemy's plots, the settlers' ambitions, their continued desecration of its courtyards, and the escalation of their incursions, especially during Jewish holidays.
They stressed that Al-Aqsa Mosque is a historical and religious right of the Palestinians, and that no one should share this right with them. Maintaining it is a duty despite the enemy's restrictions and military presence in the Old City and Quds.
Al-Aqsa Mosque is witnessing an unprecedented escalation in settler incursions and violations, under heavy guard from enemy forces. Talmudic rituals and prayers are being performed in an attempt to impose new Judaization facts and alter the historical and religious reality there.
