Hundreds of Colonists Storm Al-Aqsa Mosque Amid Attacks in the Old City

Occupied Jerusalem, September 29 (QNA) – Hundreds of colonists stormed the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque from the Mughrabi Gate on Tuesday morning, under the heavy protection of the Israeli occupation forces, and performed Talmudic rituals and prayers, group songs, and applause.
WAFA news agency, citing the Jerusalem Governorate, explained that the colonists performed their rituals in the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque under the protection of the occupation police.
The colonists also beat and dragged Palestinians in the Bab Al-Amoud area, and published video clips documenting their attacks on their social media pages.
The incursions coincide with the occupation authorities tightening their military measures in the vicinity of Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Old City and imposing restrictions on the entry and movement of worshippers.
