JERUSALEM, December 3, 2017 – Israeli settlers stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque today, after Israeli occupation police allowed them to board the Dome of the Rock in an unprecedented escalation. About 51 extremist settlers stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque from Al-Maghariba Gate and made provocative tours in its courtyards.
Local sources in Jerusalem said, “In an unusual and provocative step, the Israeli occupation police allowed a group of extremist settlers to ascend to the Dome of the Rock, knowing that they are not allowed to be in the Dome of the Rock.”
