In a new escalation in occupied Jerusalem, hundreds of settlers stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound on Wednesday under heavy protection from Israeli occupation forces. This incident reflects the continued imposition of a coercive reality within one of Islam’s most prominent holy sites and perpetuates ongoing violations that infringe upon the freedom of worship and the religious presence of Muslims.
According to the Islamic Waqf Department, 508 settlers stormed the mosque in the morning alone, entering through the Mughrabi Gate in organised groups, amidst security measures provided by the occupation forces. Estimates indicate that the number is likely to rise as the incursions continue after the noon prayer, reflecting an escalating pattern of these activities, which have become almost daily occurrences in recent years.
