Dozens of Jewish settlers on Thursday morning broke into the Aqsa Mosque in Occupied Jerusalem and desecrated its courtyards under tight police protection.

According to local sources, 92 settlers escorted by police forces entered the Mosque through al-Maghariba Gate and toured the Mosque courtyards.

Recently, Jewish settlers resumed their daily provocative break-ins at the Aqsa Mosque after the Islamic Awqaf authority in Jerusalem reopened it last Sunday, May 31, for Muslim prayers for the first time since its closure in mid-March as a measure to contain the spread of coronavirus.

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.
