Today, Tuesday, 269 Zionist settlers stormed the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, from the Mughrabi Gate side, with heavy security from the occupation police, on the first day of the Jewish “Purim.”
The so-called “Temple Organizations” had called for the organization of massive incursions into the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque today and tomorrow, coinciding with their holiday.
And the Palestinian News Agency, Wafa, reported that dozens of settlers stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque, carried out provocative tours in its courtyards, and performed Talmudic rituals, with the protection of the occupation police, who reinforced their deployment inside Al-Aqsa and at its gates.
The Association of Palestine Scholars warned against the Israeli occupation forces and settlers organizing a large-scale storming of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque during the days of the current week, and Jerusalemite calls were launched to confront the settlers’ incursions, and to intensify the travel and attachment to the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque today and tomorrow.

During the past days, the so-called “Temple Groups” intensified their calls for a central storming of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque today, Tuesday and tomorrow, Wednesday, in conjunction with the so-called “Purim Festival.”
The settlement groups urged their followers to wear the uniforms of the so-called “temple priests”, in an attempt to perpetuate the Jewish religious presence in Al-Aqsa Mosque and impose its division.
