JERUSALEM, October 1, 2025 (WAFA) – A total of 489 Israeli colonists stormed on Wednesday the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in occupied Jerusalem, under the protection of heavily armed Israeli police.

Eyewitnesses reported the colonists stormed the mosque in groups, conducting provocative tours of its courtyards and performing Talmudic rituals under the protection of Israeli forces.

The incursion in response to calls by extremist groups affiliated with the so-called "Union of Temple Organizations" for their supporters to participate in a large-scale storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque, scheduled for next Monday, under the pretext of celebrating the so-called Jewish "Feast of Tabernacles."
