JERUSALEM, November 5, 2017 (WAFA) – Israeli settlers broke into al-Aqsa Mosque compound on Sunday under heavy protection of Israeli police, said WAFA correspondent.
Groups of extremist settlers broke into the Muslim holy site through Bab al-Magharba Gate and went on provocative tours in the vicinity of the mosque to perform Talmudic rituals as Israeli police provided protection for them.
In October 2015, tension ran high across the West Bank, including Jerusalem, against the backdrop of Israel’s repeated assaults on the Mosque, including attempts to enforce a unilateral temporal division of the Islamic holy site between Muslims and Jews.
