According to local sources, 122 settlers entered the Mosque in groups through its Maghariba Gate and toured its courtyards under police protection.

Some of the settlers provocatively performed Jewish prayers during their presence at the Islamic holy site.

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

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