Today, Thursday, settlers stormed the squares of Al-Aqsa Mosque from the Al-Mughrabi Gate, under heavy security from the Israeli occupation forces .
The Ministry of Endowments and Islamic Affairs and Holy Places said in a statement that the Israeli occupation soldiers prevented Jerusalemite worshipers from outside the Old City of occupied Jerusalem from performing the dawn prayers inside the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque .
And the occupation authorities placed concrete cubes in preparation for the annual closure that the occupation authorities carry out on the occasion of the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur, where every year Jerusalem towns and neighborhoods are isolated, and a situation similar to curfew is imposed on this holiday .
The occupation targets the Jerusalemites and those stationed with arrests, deportations and fines, with the aim of deporting the Jerusalemites from the Al-Aqsa Mosque, and leaving it as an easy spot in front of settlement ambitions .
Yom Kippur is considered in the Jewish law as a complete holiday in which everything that is forbidden to the Jews on Saturdays, or major holidays such as work, lighting a fire, writing with a pen, operating cars, etc., and there are also actions that are specifically prohibited such as eating and drinking, washing and bathing Walking in leather shoes, having sex and other activities for pleasure .
