Colonists stormed the courtyards of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque today in Occupied Jerusalem (Al-Quds), under the protection of the occupation police. Palestinian news agency Wafa reported eyewitnesses as saying that the colonists recited Talmudic rituals as they stormed Al-Aqsa, under the protection of the occupation police. The colonists stormed Al-Aqsa in groups, eyewitnesses added, pointing out that the occupation police turned the Old City from the occupied Al-Quds into a military barracks, after having deployed hundreds of occupation police at close quarters, especially at the gates of Al-Aqsa. The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) tightened their military procedures at the gates of the Old City and Al-Aqsa Mosque, and imposed restrictions on the entering Palestinian worshippers. Incursions by colonists and extremists into Al-Aqsa Mosque in the occupied Al-Quds have increased since the beginning of the Israeli genocide on the Gaza Strip in October 2023.
