The Islamic Endowments Department in Jerusalem reported that dozens of settlers stormed on Wednesday, the holy Al-Aqsa Mosque, under the strict protection of the Israeli police.

Today, according to the Palestinian Press Agency (Safa), the Awqaf Department stated that “the settlers stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque from the Mughrabi Gate, carried out provocative tours in its courtyards, and performed Talmudic rituals in the eastern side of it.”

According to the agency, “Al-Aqsa is exposed daily, except for Friday and Saturday, to a series of settler incursions, as part of the occupation’s attempts to divide it temporally and spatially.”

Today, the Israeli forces arrested 21 Palestinian citizens from the cities of Hebron, Ramallah, Jerusalem, Jenin and Bethlehem, according to the Palestinian News and Information Agency (Wafa).
