More than 11,000 Jewish settlers entered the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound over three weeks during the Jewish holiday season, Shehab Wire reported. Talmudic rituals and Torah prayers dominated the interior of the mosque throughout the period, according to the agency's documentation of events at the site.
Hundreds of Palestinians were forcibly barred from entering Al-Aqsa during the same span through Israeli expulsion orders, the report stated.
