120 Jewish settlers break into Aqsa plazas

The Aqsa Foundation for Endowment and Heritage (AFEH) has warned of an escalation in the Israeli occupation forces and settlers’ storming of the holy Aqsa mosque on the eve of its so-called “destruction of the Temple” anniversary next Sunday.

AFEH statement followed the news about the breaking into the Aqsa plazas by around 120 Jewish settlers who entered the holy site in groups since the early morning hours of Wednesday.

It said groups of settlers toured the Aqsa plazas while listening to Talmudic explanations and offered religious rituals.

Eyewitnesses said that the tours were made under heavy security protection that heightened tension in the holy site.
