Settlers stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in Jerusalem, Ma'an Wire reported. The group performed what they described as an "epic prostration," a coordinated prayer demonstration at the site.
The incident marks another episode in ongoing tensions over access to the contested holy site, which sits atop the Temple Mount in occupied East Jerusalem. The mosque is Islam's third holiest sanctuary; Jewish and Christian visitors have long claimed historical and religious ties to the location.
