Today, settlers stormed the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem under the protection of Israeli police, performing Talmudic prayers, according to "Wafa". Eyewitnesses reported that "settlers entered the mosque in groups, while Israeli police transformed the Old City into a military barracks, deploying hundreds of their personnel at close distances, particularly at the gates of Al-Aqsa Mosque, tightening military measures at its doors and the doors of the Old City, and imposing restrictions on the entry of worshippers."
