Guarded by the Israeli occupation forces, dozens of Zionist settlers stormed on Tuesday the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque in order to mark Passover.
Wearing religious uniforms. the settlers, including rabbis, broke into the Holy Shrine in order to perform Talmudic rites.
The so-called Temple groups called on their followers to carry out massive incursions into Al-Aqsa Mosque at midnight before the Jewish Passover, on the twenty-third of this month, to offer the “sacrifice”.
Mufti of Palestine and Al-Aqsa Mosque Preacher Sheikh Mohammad Hussein denounced the settlers’ attempts to perform Talmudic rites inside the Holy Shrine, stressing that it offends the Muslims and their creed which opposes any partnership with the extremist settlers regarding the mosque.
However, the calls for the settlers to flock into Al-Aqsa Mosque was not answered massively in light of the security alert announced by the enemy police and the Palestinian counter calls to confront the Zionist violations.
Meanwhile, the Israeli occupation forces were deployed heavily in East of Al-Quds to hinder the Palestinians access into Al-Aqsa Mosque and facilitate the settlers’ movement.
The enemy troops erected dozens of checkpoints in occupied Al-Quds, turning the city into military barracks.
