According to the Islamic Awqaf Authority in Occupied Jerusalem, dozens of police officers escorted the zionist settlers as they were touring the Mosque’s courtyards.

The zionist settlers included 97 students of universities and religious institutes, 40 government employees and eight intelligence officers.

The Aqsa Mosque is exposed to daily desecration by zionist settlers in the morning and the afternoon except on Fridays and Saturdays.

 The zionist gangs close al-Maghariba Gate, which is used by Jews to enter the Mosque, at 10:30 am after the zionist settlers complete their morning tours at the holy site. Later in the afternoon, the same gate is reopened for evening tours by zionist settlers.

During the presence of zionist settlers inside the Mosque compound, entry restrictions are imposed on Muslim worshipers at the entrances leading to the Mosque and their IDs are seized until they leave the holy place. (ILKHA)
