Hordes of settlers, including rabbi Glick, defile Aqsa Mosque

Scores of Jewish settlers on Tuesday morning entered the Aqsa Mosque in Occupied Jerusalem and desecrated its courtyards under police guard.

According to local sources, extremist rabbi Yehuda Glick was among dozens of settlers who toured the Mosque’s courtyards in the morning.

Eyewitnesses also reported seeing some settlers performing Jewish prayers near the Mosque’s Bab al-Rahma area.

The Aqsa Mosque is exposed to daily desecration by Jewish settlers and police forces in the morning and the afternoon except on Fridays and Saturdays.
 
The Israeli police close al-Maghariba Gate, which is used by Jews to enter the Mosque, at 10:30 am after the settlers complete their morning tours at the holy site. Later in the afternoon, the same gate is reopened for evening tours by settlers.

During the presence of settlers inside the Mosque compound, entry restrictions are imposed on Muslim worshipers at the entrances leading to the Mosque and their IDs are seized until they leave the holy place.
