Dozens of settlers stormed the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem on Wednesday, under the protection of the Israeli occupation police.

Our correspondent reported that dozens of settlers stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque in groups, conducted provocative tours of its courtyards, and performed Talmudic rituals under the protection of occupation forces.

The occupation police imposed strict restrictions on the entry of worshippers to Al-Aqsa Mosque and checked their IDs at the mosque's gates.

The so-called "Temple Groups" launched a petition to collect signatures, addressed to the extremist Israeli government's Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir. The petition includes provocative demands regarding Al-Aqsa Mosque during the so-called "Jerusalem Day," on May 26.

These groups demanded that Ben-Gvir open Al-Aqsa Mosque to intruders from Sunday evening until Monday evening, the 25th and 26th of this month, and allow full freedom of Talmudic rituals inside the mosque, including the entry of what they called "sacred items" such as "tallit, tefillin, and Torah scrolls."
