Jerusalem: Israeli colonists stormed the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied Jerusalem, under the protection of Israeli occupation police forces.
According to Qatar News Agency, eyewitnesses reported that dozens of colonists entered the mosque in groups, conducting provocative tours in its courtyards and performing Talmudic rituals, all under the protection of the occupation forces.
This incident follows calls by groups associated with the Union of Temple Organizations, urging their supporters to prepare for a significant incursion into Al-Aqsa Mosque the following Monday. This call to action is under the guise of celebrating the Feast of Tabernacles.
Since the onset of Israeli aggression against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank in October 2023, there has been a marked increase in such actions. Tens of thousands of colonists have reportedly stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque, bolstered by occupation forces, while entry restrictions to the mosque and the gates of the Old City have been intensified.
