More than 1,589 settlers entered Al-Aqsa Mosque over seven days, according to Shehab Wire, performing Talmudic rituals in its courtyards while Israeli police provided protection. The incursions occurred amid tightened restrictions on Muslim worshippers' access to the site.
The mosque raids coincided with increased constraints on Palestinian prayers and what rights groups characterize as interference with freedom of worship at the Islamic holy site.
