Israeli settlers entered the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound and conducted Talmudic rituals while Israeli occupation police provided security, Eye on Palestine reported. The incident marks another breach of the sacred site, which sits atop Jerusalem's Old City.
Access to Al-Aqsa by Jewish visitors and settlers remains a flashpoint in Jerusalem. Palestinian officials and Muslim authorities have repeatedly objected to such entries, viewing them as provocative violations of the mosque's sanctity and existing agreements governing the compound's use.
