Today, Tuesday, dozens of Jewish settlers stormed the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque, under heavy guarded by the occupation forces.
The Department of Islamic Endowments in occupied Jerusalem said, in a brief statement, that "52 settlers stormed Al-Aqsa, through groups from the side of the Mughrabi Gate, and performed Talmudic rituals in its courtyards, until they left it through the Al-Silsilah Gate." The occupation police allow settlers and Jewish extremists to storm Al-Aqsa in two periods; Morning and evening lasting several hours. On April 13, the situation in the Palestinian territories erupted as a result of "brutal" attacks by the occupation police and settlers in Jerusalem, especially Al-Aqsa Mosque and its surroundings and Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood, where the occupation seeks to evict 12 homes of Palestinian families and hand them over to settlers. In response to widespread violations of Al-Aqsa Mosque and attacks on worshipers inside it on Ramadan 28, corresponding to May 13, Palestinian factions in Gaza fired dozens of rockets at Israeli settlements near the Strip. On the same day, the occupation launched a brutal aggression on Gaza, by land, air and sea, which resulted in the death of 256 Palestinians, including 66 children and 39 women, 17 elderly, before it ended with a ceasefire on May 21. The resistance factions responded by firing thousands of missiles at Israeli cities, killing 13 Israelis and wounding hundreds. However, on May 23, the Israeli occupation allowed settlers to storm the mosque again, after a three-week ban due to the confrontations that the city witnessed between the Palestinians and the police.
