\r\n\tNearly 400 Israeli settlers, guarded by regime forces, have once again stormed the al-Aqsa Mosque compound in the Israeli-occupied Old City of al-Quds ('Jerusalem').
\r\n\t
\r\n\tFiras al-Dibs, spokesperson of the Islamic Waqf, which manages the compound’s affairs, told the Palestinian Ma’an news agency that large groups of Israeli settlers, approximately 385 in total, “raided the mosque” on Thursday.
\r\n\t
\r\n\tThe official also told Turkey’s Anadolu news agency that the intruding settlers tried to perform rituals and attempted to attack the mosque guards, while Israeli forces made two arrests in the mosque’s courtyard.
\r\n\t
\r\n\tThe al-Aqsa Mosque compound is a flashpoint Islamic site, which is also holy to the Jews.
\r\n\t
\r\n\tUnder a 1967 deal between Israel and Jordan, the compound’s custodian, non-Muslim worship is prohibited at the site.
\r\n\t
\r\n\tIn defiance of the agreement, the regime in Tel Aviv regularly allows Israeli settlers and extremists to enter the site and carry out religious rituals -- often under armed guard.
\r\n\t
\r\n\tThursday marked the third day of the Jewish holiday of Passover.
\r\n\t
\r\n\tIn a similar move on Wednesday, nearly 300 settlers and extremists entered the compound by force, performing acts deemed provocative by Palestinians.
\r\n\t
\r\n\tMuslim bodies in al-Quds condemned the incursions, saying they are meant to change al-Aqsa’s historical character.
\r\n\t
\r\n\t “We cannot accept such arbitrary, barbaric … measures under the pretext of Jewish holidays,” the Department of Islamic Waqf and Islamic Higher Council, as well as Dar Al-Ifta and the Supreme Islamic Council, said in a joint statement.<\/p>","content_source":null,"content_url":null,"content_columns":"0","content_date_start":"2017-04-15 15:00:49","content_date_finish":"2017-04-15 15:00:49","content_date_register":"2017-04-15 15:00:49","content_date_last_edit":"0000-00-00 00:00:00","content_show_img":"1","content_show_details":"1","content_show_related_img":"1","content_show_slider":"1","content_show_title_slider":"1","content_comment":"0","content_score":"0","content_recorded":"0","content_confirmed":"1","content_status":"1","content_kind":"0","old_id":"128917","tag_id":null,"tag_word":null,"tag_service":null,"tag_total":null,"tag_soundex":null,"attach_token":"2165171164","attach_date_register":"2017-04-15 15:00:51","attach_id":"139889","attach_file_ext":"jpg","attach_file_header":"image\/jpeg","attach_img_type":"2","attach_img_width":"650","attach_img_height":"366","attach_file_media":"1","attach_show_watermark":"0","score_average":null,"score_count":null,"score_date_last":null,"visit_count":"288","visit_date_last":"2025-05-13 03:34:38","attach_title":"Nearly 400 Israeli settlers storm Aqsa Mosque again","node_title":"news","ot_node_left_right":"[{\"node_id\":122, \"left\":2, \"right\":53}]"}]]
