ANKARA
More than 2,000 illegal Israeli settlers stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque complex in occupied East Jerusalem on Tuesday morning, under the heavy protection of Israeli troops, to perform a religious event. The act provoked tensions with Palestinian Muslims present at the holy site.
Approximately 2,250 Israeli settlers toured the complex and conducted Talmudic religious rituals, according to the Jordan-run Islamic Endowments Department.
It was also reported that Israeli settlers were seen waving Israeli flags while storming the complex of the mosque.
The settlers’ entry into the Al-Aqsa Mosque complex came in response to a call from extremist Jewish groups to commemorate Tisha B’Av, an annual Jewish fast day that marks the occurrence of several disasters in Jewish history, official Palestinian news agency Wafa reported.
The settlers entered the mosque through the western Al-Mugharbah Gate, a route frequently used during such incursions, it added.
Israeli forces closed roads leading to Jerusalem’s Old City, deployed hundreds of soldiers, and effectively turned the area into a “military barracks” while imposing strict restrictions on Palestinians attempting to enter the mosque, according to the news agency.
Al-Aqsa Mosque is considered the third holiest site in Islam. Jewish refer to the area as the Temple Mount, believing it to be the location of two ancient Jewish temples.
Israel occupied East Jerusalem, where Al-Aqsa is located, during the 1967 Arab-Israeli War. In 1980, Israel annexed the entire city, a move that has never been recognized by the international community.
