3,000 settlers break into al-Aqsa within two months

Up to 3,000 Israeli settlers stormed al-Aqsa Mosque over the past three months, Israeli media sources reported.

The Israeli sources quoted the Israeli extremist settler Yehuda Glick as saying that 3,000 Israeli settlers broke into the holy shrine in less than two months.

The sources pointed out that the past week had witnessed unprecedented settler break-ins as 1,192 settlers stormed the Mosque. 448 of them stormed the compound on Thursday.

Right-wing Israeli organizations called for intensifying settler break-ins into al-Aqsa, especially during Jewish holidays although the UNESCO had declared it a purely Islamic site.
