Today, settlers stormed the courtyards of the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem under the protection of Israeli police. Local sources informed "Wafa" that "settlers entered Al-Aqsa in groups from the Mughrabi Gate and conducted provocative tours in its courtyards, performing ritualistic Jewish practices." They noted that "the occupying police transformed the Old City into a military barracks, with hundreds of its personnel deployed at the gates of Al-Aqsa, tightening military measures and imposing restrictions on the entry of worshippers."
