Around 430 colonists stormed the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque on Thursday, heavily guarded by the Israeli occupation police.

The colonists stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque from Mughrabi Gate, carried out provocative tours and performed Talmudic rituals in its courtyards, Palestenian news agency (WAFA) reported.

The occupation police also tightened its military procedures, obstructing the movement of worshipers and checking their ID cards.

The incursions of colonists and extremists into Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied Jerusalem have increased significantly since the beginning of the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip.
