Dozens of Jewish settlers defile Aqsa Mosque

Dozens of Jewish settlers broke into the Aqsa Mosque in the occupied old city of al-Quds ('Jerusalem') on Sunday morning under Israeli security protection provided by special police forces.

Some 86 settlers entered the holy Islamic site via the Maghareba Gate in six separate groups and roamed its plazas, according to PIC.

Many Muslim worshipers and Quran students were present in the holy site during the provocative tours, it said.
