’Israeli’ Settlers, Rabbis Storm Al-Aqsa Mosque

Local Editor

Over 100 "Israeli" extremists on Sunday entered al-Aqsa Holy Mosque in Occupied al-Quds city accompanied by dozens of "Israeli" police officers.

At least 180 "Israelis", including 18 Rabbi's, entered the compound through the al-Maghareba Gate and toured the area under "Israeli" police guard.
Local Muslim worshipers and students protested the visit by shouting 'Allah Akbar', or 'God is Great', at the group.

Sheikh Najih Ibkeirat, the director of al-Asqa Holy Mosque, denounced the storm of Zionist rightists to the area and urged the Islamic world to prepare "a practical plan to stop the daily raids on al-Aqsa."

"Extremists are trying to provoke Muslims and make up trouble in order to provide an excuse for "Israeli" forces to deny West Bankers entry to the mosque during Ramadan," Ibkeirat added.

He further added that "visits to the al-Aqsa compound by "Israeli" extremists are intended to show local Palestinian Muslims that they can enter the area at will, even during the holy month of Ramadan."

"Israeli" politicians, such as Likud's Moshe Feiglin, have in the past called for "Zionist rituals at the compound, and control and access to the holy site.
