More than 370 settlers storm Al-Aqsa mosque under Israeli police protection

Israeli occupation soldiers allowed 375 settlers to enter the Al-Aqsa Mosque on Wednesday, reported the Palestinian news agency.

The settlers arrived in successive groups from the Mughrabi Gate, carrying out provocative tours and performing rituals in the mosque’s courtyards.

Since 7 October, 2023, Israeli forces have tightened access procedures at Al-Aqsa gates and the entrances to the Old City, restricting Palestinian worshippers and escalating tensions in the occupied East Jerusalem site.
