Jewish Rabbis and Settlers Storm Al-Aqsa Mosque
Dozens of settlers, accompanied by a number of rabbis, stormed the Aqsa Mosque on Thursday morning from the Mughrabi Gate, guarded by a large Israeli police force.
Palestinian sources said that two groups of settlers stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque, and toured its courtyards, led by the extremist Jewish Rabbi Yehuda Glick, who provided the settlers with explanations about the alleged temple.
They pointed out that despite the restrictions imposed by the occupation on the entry of Palestinian worshipers to the mosque, and the presence of large numbers of troops in its yards and at its gates, the students and worshipers from Jerusalem and 1948 Palestine continued to flock to the Aqsa in large numbers.
Jewish organizations and activists from the rightist Likud party have called on Jews to participate in successive incursions into the Aqsa mosque that will continue for a week, starting from Thursday.
Meanwhile, Palestinian movements, institutions and figures called for intensifying the presence in Al-Aqsa Mosque, to confront the settlers' raids.
An atmosphere of tension prevails in the squares and at the gates of the mosque, and the Old City in light of the news about the presence of large crowds of settlers near the Buraq Wall, getting ready to break into the Aqsa Mosque.
