Israeli settlers storm Al-Aqsa Mosque complex

More than a hundred ultranationalist Israeli settlers stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied East Jerusalem on Tuesday, Al Jazeera Arabic reported.

Last week, on Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah, groups of settlers entered the mosque complex under the protection of heavily armed Israeli forces. They performed Jewish prayers and religious rituals at the site. They also sang and danced. 

These actions violate longstanding international agreements, known as the status quo, which designate Al-Aqsa Mosque as an exclusively Islamic site, where only Muslims are permitted to worship.

Israeli incursions into the mosque complex have become a near-daily occurrence.
