Israeli settlers storm Al-Aqsa Mosque under army guard

Israeli settlers have stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque courtyard in occupied East Jerusalem under the protection of Israeli forces, the Wafa news agency reports.

Citing local sources, Wafa said dozens of settlers performed provocative rituals inside site.

Israeli settlers have repeatedly stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque in recent years, violating agreements and often encouraged by far-right politicians such as National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, who has himself carried out several provocative visits.
