OCCUPIED AL-QUDS, PALESTINOW.COM — Dozens of Israeli settlers on Monday morning stormed al-Aqsa Mosque under police guard.
Local sources said that 37 Israeli settlers in the early morning hours broke into al-Aqsa Mosque via al-Maghareba Gate and roamed its courtyards while being given presentations on the alleged Temple Mount.
The same sources added that 30 Israeli police officers in civilian clothes entered the Mosque during the same period.
Settler break-ins into al-Aqsa Mosque are witnessed on a daily basis, except on Fridays and Saturdays, and they are carried out in two rounds: in the morning and afternoon.
Meanwhile, the Israeli police on Sunday decided to ban seven Palestinian women from entering al-Aqsa Mosque for 15 days over their presence near al-Rahma Gate where the Israeli settlers usually perform provocative rituals.
