Occupiers defile Aqsa Mosque under military protection

Hordes of Israeli occupiers on Thursday morning desecrated the Aqsa Mosque under tight military guard, according to PIC.

Local sources said that Israeli police troops provided protection for 17 settlers as they were touring the courtyards of the Mosque.

They added that the police also escorted 12 soldiers and two Shin Bet officers wearing their uniforms during a guided tour of the Mosque.

Muslim worshipers, for their part, chanted religious slogans in the Mosque's courtyards in protest at the presence of the ocupiers.
