Report: 1,595 Settlers, Including Officials, Defiled the Aqsa Mosque Last Month
The information center of Wadi Hilwa district said that the occupied city of Jerusalem and the Aqsa Mosque saw during last September serious Israeli violations either by the Israeli occupation authority or the extremist Jewish groups.
In a report on Saturday, Wadi Hilwa center said that the Israeli occupation authority (IOA) closed the Aqsa Mosque seven times and allowed hundreds of extremist Jewish settlers to defile it.
The center noted that head of the Knesset interior committee Miri Regev called for officially dividing the Aqsa Mosque spatially and temporally between Muslims and Jews as is the case with the Ibrahimi Mosque in Al-Khalil, affirming that her proposal was supported by her right-wing colleagues and many extremist Jewish figures, who attended the session.
According to its report, more than 1,595 Jewish settlers, including senior officials and rabbis, desecrated the Aqsa Mosque under police and military protection during their holidays last month.
The Jewish settlers also performed rituals at the Aqsa Mosque and removed stones from its courtyard during their break-ins.
More than 6,000 Jewish settlers have violated the sanctity of the Aqsa Mosque since the beginning of the current year, the report pointed out.
Different Israeli security forces also stormed the Aqsa Mosque three times during the reporting month and used unprecedented violence to suppress Palestinian worshipers.
Dozens of Palestinian worshipers suffered injuries and were detained during those Israeli raids on the Mosque.
During that month, the Israeli occupation forces detained more than 180 Jerusalemite citizens, including a lady and about 30 minors, in the Old City.
The Jewish settlers, in turn, sabotaged two churches and one Christian cemetery in Jerusalem and spray-painted racist slurs on some of its gravestones.
They also damaged and ruined Palestinian cars and property in Sheikh Jarrah and Silwan districts.
Wadi Hilwa information center documented more than 165 attacks by the extremist Jewish gang known as the price tag on Palestinians and their property in the 1948 occupied land and some areas near Jerusalem.
