Local sources affirmed that hundreds of settlers broke into the complex through its Al-Magharaba Gate, marking the so-called “destruction of the temple.” 

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

Since the early morning hours, thousands of settlers have stormed Buraq Square and performed Talmudic prayers.

Earlier Wednesday, thousands of settlers held a provocative flag march in the Old City and near the Aqsa Mosque.

The march was attended by zionist ministers and Knesset members from the right-wing parties, and passed through the Aqsa gates, including Al-Jadeed, Al-Zahira, Al-Amoud and Al-Asbat, before ending at Buraq Square.

The Palestinian people in Jerusalem and Muslim and Christian organizations have earlier called for a mass mobilization to defend the Aqsa Mosque and confront the settler incursions. (ILKHA)
