 Dozens of extremist Jewish settlers on Sunday stormed the courtyards of Al-Aqsa mosque/ Haram Al Sharif compound in the occupied city of Jerusalem, a Palestinian source confirmed.

General Director of the Islamic Awqaf and Al-Aqsa Affairs, Sheikh Azzam Al-Khatib, told Petra's reporter in Ramallah that today's incursions were carried out through the Magharba gate under the protection of Israeli occupation forces.

"The settlers provocatively toured the holy shrine, while the Israeli troops forced heavy security measures against the entry of Muslim worshippers into their holy place," the Sheikh added.
