Jewish settlers performed a collective prostration ritual during an incursion into Al-Aqsa Mosque, the Ma'an news agency reported. The group conducted what witnesses described as an "epic prostration" as part of the raid on the holy site.
The incident marks another in a series of contested entries into the mosque compound, a flashpoint for Israeli-Palestinian tensions in occupied East Jerusalem.
