According to local sources, extremist rabbi Yehuda Glick was among the settlers who performed Jewish prayers at the Aqsa Mosque’s Bab al-Maghariba Gate before entering the holy site and touring its courtyards under police guard.

On Sunday, 40 rabbis led by rabbi Yisrael Ariel, head of the temple institute, defiled the Aqsa Mosque’s courtyards.

Recently, about 58 rabbis from around the world signed a religious ruling urging and permitting Jews to defile the Aqsa Mosque, which they claimed to be the temple mount.

A Jewish group called students for the temple mount also launched a fundraiser to support Judaization activities and daily break-ins at the Aqsa Mosque. (ILKHA)
