JERUSALEM, October 14, 2025 (WAFA) – An extremist minister in the Israeli occupation government led colonists' raids into Al-Aqsa Mosque on Tuesday, under the protection of the Israeli occupation police.

The Islamic Waqf Department in occupied Jerusalem reported that the extremist Israeli Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir, stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque, along with dozens of colonists, on the last day of the Jewish Sukkot holiday.

The raid included tours of the Al-Aqsa courtyards and the performance of Talmudic rituals in the eastern area of ​​the mosque, under the protection of the occupation police.

The raid coincided with the intensification of Israeli military measures at the gates of Al-Aqsa Mosque and in the Old City of occupied Jerusalem, imposing obstacles on the entry of worshippers and Jerusalemites.

This is the second time that Ben-Gvir leads raids into Al-Aqsa Mosque within one week.

Last Wednesday, Ben-Gvir led 1,200 colonists who stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque, coinciding with the second day of the Hebrew holiday of Sukkot.
