Ammon News - Scores of Jewish extremist settlers early Tuesday stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque/ al-Haram al-Sharif compound in occupied East Jerusalem.

A statement by the Islamic Awqaf and Al-Aqsa Affairs said that today’s raid was conducted through al-Magharebah Gate, under the heavy protection of Israeli police, who restricted Muslim worshippers' access to the mosque.

The settlers provocatively toured the Mosque’s yards, performed Talmudic rituals, and listened to explanations about the purported "Temple Mount", it added.
