Over 750 illegal Zionist settlers violate Aqsa Mosque

More than 750 illegal Zionist settlers have violated the al-Aqsa Mosque compound in al-Quds under the strict protection of regime forces as part of recent mass break-ins into the Islamic holy site.

According to reports, on Thursday morning, 754 illegal Zionist settlers entered the compound from the Moroccan Gate, the Palestine Information Center, citing local sources, reported.

It added that the illegal settlers stormed the compound in nine groups and received information from rabbis about the alleged temple mount while dozens of police and security forces escorted the illegal settlers during their trespassing at the holy site.

The al-Aqsa Mosque compound sits just above the Western Wall plaza and houses both the Dome of the Rock and the al-Aqsa Mosque.

Outside the compound and particularly at its gates, Israeli soldiers also imposed restrictions on Palestinian worshipers’ access to the mosque, demanded their ID cards, frisked them, and searched their bags, it added.

On Tuesday, at least 300 illegal settlers entered the compound from the Moroccan Gate, responding to calls made by extremist groups for mass break-ins at the al-Aqsa Mosque compound to mark a religious event.
