Hundreds of settlers defile Aqsa Mosque

Hundreds of Jewish settlers on Wednesday morning carried out renewed descration break-ins at the Aqsa Mosque under tight police escort.
According to local sources, hundreds of settlers gathered at the Aqsa Mosque’s gates and the Bab al-Rahma prayer building before swarming its courtyards.

Many settlers were seen wearing religious clothing during their tour of the Mosque.
Local sources warned that other groups of settlers would defile the Aqsa Mosque on Thursday.
