At least 912 settlers entered the Mosque in different groups through its Maghariba Gate and toured its courtyards under tight police protection, according to al-Qastal News website.

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 continued to impose restrictions on the entry of Muslim worshipers to the Mosque, and harassed a number of them during their presence in its courtyards and the entrances leading to it.

Muslim worshipers, for their part, spread through their Mosque’s courtyards, performing prayers and chanting religious slogans in protest at the settlers’ desecration of the holy site. (ILKHA)
