Al-Quds, 18 Dzulqa’dah 1436/2 September 2015 (MINA) – A group of Israeli settlers stormed Tuesday morning al-Aqsa Mosque via the Israeli-controlled Magaribeh Gate under heavy police protection.

The settlers carried out a series of provocative acts in the courtyards of the holy shrine, while Palestinian worshipers responded by chanting Takbeer, The Palestinian Information Center, quoted by Mi’raj Islamic News Agency (MINA) as reporting.

Israeli police, for its part, confiscated the identity cards of some worshipers mainly minors and women at the entrances to the mosque.

Extremist Israeli settlers and officials have been violating the sanctity of the holy Mosque on an almost daily basis and always under the protection of armed occupation forces, which often attack Palestinian worshipers who try to protect their holy site.(T/R05/R03)
