Day 205: Jerusalem during “Al-Aqsa Flood” Operation
On the 205th day of "Al-Aqsa Flood Operation", hundreds of settlers stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque, on the sixth day of the Jewish Passover holiday.
The Islamic Endowments Department said that 1,210 settlers stormed Al-Aqsa, “908 during the morning incursions period and 302 during the afternoon.”
The settlers carried out their incursions in the form of successive groups in large numbers, through the Dung Gate, the keys of which have been controlled by the occupation authorities since the occupation of Jerusalem. Among the intruders was Amit Halevy of the Likud Party.
The settlers performed their prayers during the storming of Al-Aqsa, guarded by the occupation forces that accompanied them and were deployed in Al-Aqsa squares.
The settlers also performed their prayers at the gates of Al-Aqsa from the outside, and in Al-Buraq Square.
The forces were stationed at the gates of Al-Aqsa, and checked the identities of those arriving to Al-Aqsa and prevented some young men from entering it from the morning until three o’clock in the afternoon, “until the end of the two incursion periods.”
The forces prevented the presence of the worshippers stationed in Al-Aqsa “Murabiteen” in the Al-Silsileh Gate area, and expelled them towards Jaffa Gate.
In the hours after midnight, the forces stormed the village of Issawiya and arrested a young man.
