Illegal Israeli Settlers Storm Al-Aqsa Mosque under Heavy Police Protection
IQNA – More than 300 illegal settlers stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque under heavy protection from Israeli occupation forces, the al-Quds Governorate said.
It came on Sunday, coinciding with what is referred to as the “Jewish New Year”.
In a press statement, the Governorate explained that the settlers conducted provocative tours within the mosque's courtyards and performed Talmudic rituals.
They occurred amidst tightened security measures by occupation forces in the vicinity of the mosque and the Old City, coinciding with calls from so-called "Temple groups" to intensify incursions during the "Jewish New Year" period.

Israeli occupation authorities exploit Jewish holidays to close roads and impose restrictions on Palestinian movement across the West Bank, including banning entry to the mosque.
The al-Quds Governorate indicated that the number of banishment orders from Al-Aqsa Mosque, which it has managed to monitor and document since the beginning of the year, has reached approximately 850.
