Jewish settlers defile Aqsa Mosque

Groups of Jewish settlers entered the holy Aqsa Mosque in occupied Jerusalem on Tuesday morning under heavy police protection and defiled its courtyards.

Local sources told the PIC reporter that the groups, under protection of special police forces, embarked on provocative tours of the holy site in the presence of Muslim worshippers.

They pointed out that the worshipers and Aqsa guards were on alert to block any attempt by any of those settlers to perform Talmudic rituals in the holy Islamic site.

For its part, the Israeli police imposed tight restrictions on the entry of Palestinian young men and women into the Aqsa Mosque.
