Far-right Jewish settlers raid Al-Aqsa Mosque
JERUSALEM (AA) – Far-right Jewish settlers stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque on Wednesday in occupied East Jerusalem.
According to an official from the Jerusalem Islamic Waqf, more than 340 fanatical Jews entered the Haram al-Sharif area under Israeli police protection.
After the noon prayer, 86 Jewish settlers raided Masjid al-Aqsa.
They performed religious rituals in the courtyard.
Yehudah Joshua Glick, former Likud Party deputy, led the Jewish settlers.
Israeli fanatic groups stormed the Masjid al-Aqsa on the pretext of the anniversary of the destruction of the Jewish house of worship.
For Muslims, Al-Aqsa represents the world’s third-holiest site. Jews call the area the Temple Mount, saying it was the site of two ancient Jewish temples.
Israel occupied East Jerusalem during the 1967 Arab-Israeli War. It annexed the entire city in 1980 in a move never recognized by the international community.
