Scores of Jewish extremist settlers early Sunday stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque / Haram al-Sharif compound in occupied East Jerusalem.

A statement by the Islamic Awqaf Department in Jerusalem said that the radical settlers carried out today’s raids from Al-Magharebah Gate under heavy protection of Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF).

The settlers toured the mosque’s yards and provocatively performed Talmudic rituals, it added.
