Dozens of Zionist Settlers Storm Al-Aqsa Mosque Courtyards in Quds Under Israeli Police Protection

Dozens of Zionist settlers stormed the courtyards of the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Quds on Tuesday morning, performing Talmudic rituals under heavy protection from Israeli occupation forces.

The Jordan News Agency said that on Tuesday morning in occupied Jerusalem, groups of extremist Jewish settlers entered the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound/Al-Haram Al-Sharif, conducted what were described as provocative tours, and performed Talmudic rituals inside the mosque's courtyards.

The Saba report said Israeli occupation police deployed throughout the Al-Aqsa courtyards and at its gates, imposed strict security measures, and obstructed the entry of worshippers while preventing others from accessing the site.

Saba also said the incursions coincided with Israeli occupation forces granting settlers additional privileges, including extending the permitted hours for incursions during both the morning and afternoon periods.

The Jordan News Agency reported that Israeli police provided tight security for the settlers and closed all external gates of the compound to facilitate the incursions.

Saba said settlers storm Al-Aqsa Mosque almost daily, in two shifts (morning and afternoon), in an attempt to solidify the temporal and spatial division of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque.

Saba further stated that during the first week of June, Al-Aqsa Mosque witnessed a significant escalation in the frequency of settler incursions, with more than 1,552 settlers storming its courtyards under heavy protection from the Israeli occupation police.

In a separate report, Jordan News said that on Monday, local sources reported that 302 settlers stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque in consecutive groups, conducted provocative tours through its courtyards, and performed Talmudic rituals.

The Jordan News Agency said Jerusalemite groups renewed calls for Palestinians to confront and resist what they described as ongoing violations against the holy site.

Qatar news agency reported that the latest storming operation of Al-Aqsa is seen as a continuation of the systematic Israeli aggression targeting the blessed mosque, and reveals growing risks concerning its division in space and time.

Saba said Last May, Al-Aqsa Mosque was subjected to a dangerous escalation in Israeli violations, manifested in the expansion of rituals and the increased public performance of Jewish rituals and ceremonies within its courtyards.

Saba added that a total of 7,244 settlers stormed the mosque, coinciding with the entry of another 2,690 under the guise of "tourism," amidst escalating incitement by Temple Mount groups that called for intensifying the incursions, bringing in sacrifices, and imposing Talmudic rituals.
