Al Mayadeen correspondent reported on Sunday that the Israeli settlers began storming Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied Al-Quds amid a heavy military deployment of the Israeli occupation forces (IOF).

Settler groups enter Al-Aqsa Mosque under the protection of the Israeli police, who are besieging Al-Qibly (Southern Prayer Hall) in the mosque, our correspondent stressed.

Our correspondent added that the Israeli occupation forces continue to fire stun grenades and rubber bullets in Al-Aqsa, and Palestinian youths respond by throwing firecrackers.

Furthermore, the IOF also increased restrictions at the gates leading to Al-Aqsa, barring worshippers from entering the mosque to perform dawn prayers.

🚨 All gates to Al Aqsa and the old city have been blocked off by terrorist occupation forces.

This comes ahead of a planned storming of Al Aqsa by settlers in about 2 hours (7am Al Quds time).
