Ammon News - AMMONNEWS - Groups of extremist settlers early Sunday stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque/ Haram Al Sharif, according to a Palestinian source.

The General Director of the Islamic Awqaf and Al-Aqsa Affairs, Sheikh Azzam Al-Khatib, told Petra's reporter in Ramallah that Israeli settlers broke into the Muslim's holy shrine from the Bab Al-Magharbeh gate under the protection of Israeli special forces and police.

Al-Khatib stressed that the settlers provocatively toured the Al-Aqsa yards and performed their rites.

The occupation forces prevented Palestinian students from reaching their schools inside the Haram Al Sharif and imposed restrictions on the entry of youths to the mosque, he added
