On the 104th day of “Al-Aqsa Flood Operation,” the siege imposed on Al-Aqsa Mosque continued, and the raids on the towns and neighborhoods of the city of Jerusalem continued, while the occupation authorities issued a decision to demolish the family home of the martyr Khaled Al-Muhtaseb.
The siege of Al-Aqsa continues
The occupation authorities continue to besiege and isolate the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, and impose restrictions on the entry of Muslims into it.
The Wadi Hilweh Information Center - Jerusalem, quoting worshipers, explained that police officers stationed at the gates of Al-Aqsa are stopping all those coming to the mosque, to check their identities and place of residence, in addition to questioning them.
The elderly Abu Rasem said: “The occupation is trying to isolate Al-Aqsa with the restrictions imposed on our entry into it. Sometimes they allow the entry of worshipers, and most of the time they obstruct our entry and impose restrictions on us, and they try to tell us, ‘If you are not from the Old City, entry is not permitted,” pointing out that the measures include “the elderly, boys, women, and young men.”
Abu Rasem added: “For three and a half months, we have been suffering while trying to enter Al-Aqsa, and despite that, we will not leave it and continue to travel to it, from everywhere.”
On the other hand, settlers’ raids on Al-Aqsa continued, and 113 settlers carried out their raids into Al-Aqsa during the morning and afternoon periods, under the protection of the occupation police.
