Occupied Jerusalem, ALRAY - Dozens of Israeli occupation settlers stormed Al-Aqsa Holy Mosque, on Monday morning via Moroccan gate under heavy protection from Israeli occupation police.

The Jerusalem Waqf Affairs Department reported that groups of Israeli settlers broke into Al-Aqsa Mosque and performed provoking tours in its yard.

They added that the settlers got an explanation about the alleged Alhika and performed Talmudic rituals in front of AL-Rahma gate, east of Al-Aqsa Mosque.

Israeli occupation police impose tight restrictions on the access of the Palestinian worshippers from Jerusalem and pre-1948 occupied territories, check out their ID cards and seize them at the gates.

Jerusalemites intensify their calls to gather and bond permanently at Al-Aqsa Mosque, to thwart the plans of the occupation and the Jewish settlers.

The so-called "Temple Communities" intensify their calls to gather the largest number of settlers to storm Al-Aqsa Mosque during the upcoming Jewish holidays` surge, which begins in the middle of this month.

Al-Aqsa Mosque exposed, except for Friday and Saturday, to a series of violations and incursions by Israeli settlers, under the protection of Israeli occupation police, in an attempt to impose full control over the mosque and divide it spatially and temporally.
