Ammon News - AMMONNEWS - Groups of extremist settlers Tuesday 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 Magharebah gate under heavy protection of Israeli forces and police.

Al-Khatib added that the settlers provocatively toured the Al-Aqsa yards and attempted to perform their Talmudic rites.
