The incursion began at the Mughrabi gate, in the western wall of Al-Aqsa, guarded and escorted by occupation forces.
The settler groups had called for storming the mosque and performing prayers after the decision of the Israeli Magistrate's Court in occupied Al-Quds on Sunday, which stated that performing Talmudic rituals in the mosque's courtyards "does not constitute a violation of public security."
The Palestinian resistance factions condemned the Israeli decision, warning of its consequences.

The Palestinian Wafa Agency reported that dozens of settlers stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque in groups from the side of the Mughrabi Gate, performed Talmudic rituals, and carried out provocative tours in its courtyards.
Recently, the attacks and violations of the Israeli occupation authorities against Al-Aqsa Mosque and the occupied city of Al-Quds and its Palestinian residents, have escalated. Moreover, the calls to storm Al-Aqsa Mosque and attempts to impose hegemony and control over the Mosque have increased.
