On the eve of the Day of Atonement “Yom Kippur” … dozens of settlers storm Al-Aqsa Mosque
Dozens of settlers stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque on Sunday, the eve of the "Day of Atonement/Yom Kippur".
The Department of Islamic Endowments explained that 658 settlers broke into Al-Aqsa during the two periods of break-ins: "537 in the morning period and 121 in the afternoon period".
The settlers carried out their incursions into Al-Aqsa in the form of successive groups, through the Dung Gate, whose keys have been controlled by the occupation authorities since the occupation of Jerusalem.
The Israeli forces deployed since the morning hours in the Al-Aqsa Squares, as well as accompanying the raiding groups during their tour of the Al-Aqsa, and kept the worshipers away from the path of the settlers' passage.
The forces were also deployed at the gates of Al-Aqsa from the outside, and since the hours of dawn restrictions were imposed on the entrance of worshipers to Al-Aqsa, preventing some from entering, and detaining the identities of those who were allowed to enter.
The forces pushed away the worshippers stationed in the area of Al-Silsileh Gate, while the settlers intentionally provoked them with insults as soon as they left Al-Aqsa.
The settlers also performed the prayers at the Al-Aqsa gates from the outside.
The Israeli authorities summoned Mrs. Khadija Khweis for investigation "and this is the sixth time she has been summoned for investigation during the month of September."
The Israeli authorities also handed over the freed prisoner Yacoub Abu Asab a decision prohibiting him from traveling "by decree of the Minister of the Interior."
