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

During their tours at the Islamic holy site, the settlers received lectures from rabbis about the alleged temple mount and a number of them provocatively performed Talmudic prayers.

Meanwhile, the zionist occupation police imposed movement restrictions on Muslim worshipers at the Aqsa Mosque’s entrances and gates.

The police also summoned Jerusalemite activist Khadija Khuwais for interrogation. She was detained last week and handed an order banning her entry to the Aqsa Mosque for six months.

Khuwais is a noted Jerusalemite activist and one of the Aqsa Mosque teachers who are exposed to constant persecution by the Israeli police and intelligence. (ILKHA)
