Dozens of Jewish settlers break into Aqsa Mosque

PIC reported:

Dozens of Jewish settlers broke into the holy Aqsa Mosque in the occupied al-Quds ('Jerusalem') on Wednesday morning under heavy police protection.

SAFA news agency quoted Firas al-Dibbis, the spokesman for the Islamic Awkaf in the city, as saying that more than 30 Jewish settlers entered the holy compound in groups and toured its courtyards amidst tight police escort.

He added that hundreds of worshipers and vigilantes from  al-Quds and 1948 occupied Palestine were present inside the Mosque and confronted the settlers with Takbeer and protest slogans.

Dibbis said that Israeli policemen at the outside gates of the Mosque detained ID cards of all women and young men wishing to enter the holy site and provocatively searched their handbags.

He underlined that all throughout the settlers’ tour the Israeli policemen were intensively deployed outside and inside the holy site.
