Scores of Jewish settlers defile Aqsa Mosque

Dozens of Jewish settlers on Wednesday morning desecrated the Aqsa Mosque in Occupied Jerusalem.
Local sources said that Israeli police forces escorted scores of settlers as they toured the Mosque’s courtyards, adding that some of them were seen performing Talmudic rituals.
Last Sunday, Jewish settlers resumed their daily provocative break-ins at the Aqsa Mosque after the Islamic Awqaf authority in Jerusalem reopened it at dawn for Muslim prayers for the first time since its closure in mid-March as a measure to contain the spread of coronavirus.
The Aqsa Mosque is exposed to daily desecration by Jewish settlers and police forces in the morning and the afternoon except on Fridays and Saturdays.

Meanwhile, the Israeli occupation police banned an Islamic Awqaf employee called Husam Sidr from entering the Aqsa Mosque for one week after arresting him on Tuesday during his presence at the holy site.
