Today, Sunday, the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque witnessed a difficult day among the days that it experiences throughout the year, as hundreds of Zionist settlers stormed the mosque under the protection of the occupation forces, in what is known as the “Feast of Tabernacles.”

The matter did not stop at the incursions, as the intruders were keen to practice “biblical” rituals in the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque, in implementation of the strategy of “moral establishment of the temple.”

The occupation forces anticipated the raids with a heavy presence around the mosque and on the roads leading to it, and carried out an early morning raid on Al-Aqsa, after obstructing the arrival of worshippers and guards to it.

The settlers' raids on the mosque began at around 7:10 in the morning, and the raids were carried out by several groups, each of which included dozens of settlers, amidst heavy guarding by the occupation forces.

Groups of settlers tried to bring “plant offerings” into Al-Aqsa Mosque through the Asbat and Qattanin Gates, and they were able to do so during what is known as the “evening period of incursions.”

Prominent Zionist figures participated in storming Al-Aqsa today, including the head of the “Jewish Power Party” bloc and a member of the Judicial Appointments Committee, and the member of the occupation’s “Knesset,” “Yitzhak Kroizer,” who stormed Al-Aqsa with his father, Rabbi “Yehuda Kroizer,” and his mother.

While the worshippers were at Bab al-Silsila and before the noon prayer, one of the Zionist settlers insulted the Prophet Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace. The worshippers confronted them by chanting “Allahu Akbar,” and the occupation forces responded by pushing them away and assaulting them.

According to what was reported by the correspondent of the Jerusalem Agency, the number of Zionist settlers who stormed Al-Aqsa today reached about 867, including 8 students from the “Temple” institutes.
