Ammon News - Scores of Jewish extremist settlers early Wednesday stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque / Haram Al Sharif compound in the occupied holy city of Jerusalem, according to a Palestinian official source.

A statement by the Islamic Awqaf and Al-Aqsa Affairs said that today’s raid was carried out through al-Magharebah Gate under heavy protection of Israeli police and forces.

"The settlers provocatively toured the Mosque and performed Talmudic rituals, while Muslim worshipers and Al-Aqsa’s guards peacefully confronted them," it added.
