Ahlul Bayt News Agency - A group of Jewish settlers stormed Monday morning al-Aqsa Mosque from the Israeli-controlled al-Magaribeh gate under heavy Israeli police protection.
Unprecedentedly, the settlers left early the holy shrine before completing their tour due to the presence of big numbers of Palestinian worshipers.
The worshipers started shouting Takbeer forcing the settlers to leave the Mosque shortly after breaking into it.
Earlier yesterday, Israeli police prevented settlers’ access into the holy shrine out of fear of possible clashes with Palestinian worshipers in the Mosque.
On the other hand, director of the Islamic Waqf (Religious Endowment) and al-Aqsa Affairs in occupied Jerusalem Azzam al-Khatib revealed that Israeli occupation authorities plan to close al-Magribeh gate to allegedly reduce the confrontations between Israeli settlers and Palestinian worshipers.
Speaking to Quds Press, al-Khatib said that there is a serious Israeli intention to close al-Magaribeh gate for the rest of the holy month of Ramadan.
