TEHRAN (IQNA) – Dozens of Zionist settlers backed by the Tel Aviv regime’s forces entered the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in occupied East Jerusalem al-Quds on Tuesday.

 

More than 40 settlers entered the compound from al-Magharib Gate and went to different parts of the holy place before leaving, ainlibya.com website reported.

Israeli occupation authorities continue their violence and escalation policies, including permitting extremist settlers to raid Al-Aqsa Mosque.

Israeli authorities allow settler incursions to the compound since 2003, despite repeated objections and warnings by the Palestinian religious authorities as the visits provoke worshippers of the Mosque.

Al-Aqsa Mosque is the world’s third-holiest site for Muslims. Jews call the area the “Temple Mount,” claiming it was the site of two Jewish temples in ancient times.

Israel occupied East Jerusalem Al-Quds, where Al-Aqsa is located, during the 1967 Arab-Israeli war. It annexed the entire city in 1980 in a move never recognized by the international community.
