Jerusalem: Scores of Jewish extremist settlers on Tuesday stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque/ al-Haram al-Sharif compound in occupied East Jerusalem.

A statement by the General Islamic Endowments Department in Jerusalem said that the settlers carried out today’s raids through al-Magharebah under the heavy protection of Israeli police.

“The settlers provocatively toured the Mosque’s yards and performed Talmudic rituals, while Muslim worshipers peacefully confronted,” it added.
