Ammon News - AMMONNEWS - Groups of Jewish extremist settlers early Monday stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque compound/ Haram Al Sharif in the occupied holy city of Jerusalem, a Palestinian source confirmed.

The General Director of the Islamic Awqaf and Al-Aqsa Affairs, Sheikh Azzam Al-Khatib, told Petra's reporter in Ramallah that today's raid by the extremist settlers was carried under heavy protection of Israeli special police.

Al-Khatib noted that the settlers provocatively toured the compound and performed their Talmudic ritual amid a state of anger among Muslim worshipers and al-Murabitun.
