Ammon News - AMMONNEWS - Israeli extremist settlers on Sunday stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in occupied East Jerusalem, barging in via the Al-Magharebah Gate under the escort of Israeli soldiers in what has become a daily provocation against Muslim worshipers.

Palestinian sources said that the settlers stormed the compound in small and consecutive groups and carried out provocative tours inside its yards in a breach of Islam's third holiest shrine.

Meanwhile, Israeli police stationed at the main gates of Al-Aqsa Mosque imposed strict measures on the entry of young Palestinians into the mosque and confiscated the identity cards of those who were allowed in.
