Scores of Jewish extremist settlers Tuesday morning broke into the Al-Aqsa Mosque/ al-Haram al-Sharif compound in occupied East Jerusalem, according to an official Palestinian source. In a statement, the General Islamic Endowments Department in Jerusalem indicated that the settlers carried out today’s raids through al-Magharebah Gate under the heavy protection of Israeli escort, who restricted Muslim worshippers’ access to the mosque and seized many of their identification cards. “The settlers toured the mosque’s yards, and provocatively performed their Talmudic rituals in the eastern section of the compound,” it added.
