Dozens of settlers stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque and performed Talmudic rituals inside the compound, Shehab Wire reported. The incursion marked another breach of the Islamic holy site in occupied East Jerusalem.
The Israeli military typically facilitates such settler visits to the mosque, which Muslims regard as one of Islam's holiest shrines. Palestinian officials and Muslim leaders have repeatedly condemned these intrusions as provocations.
