Israeli settlers storm the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque (archive)
Al Mayadeen correspondent reported that the Israeli settlers began storming Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied Al-Quds amid a heavy military deployment of the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) on the second day of the Jewish Passover holiday.
Occupation forces are besieging young Palestinians in Al-Qibly (Southern Prayer Hall), our correspondent stressed.
Confrontations broke out early Monday between Israeli occupation forces and Palestinians following the Israeli occupation of Al-Aqsa’s courtyard.
Furthermore, the IOF also increased restrictions at the gates leading to Al-Aqsa, barring worshippers from entering the mosque to perform dawn prayers.
The Israeli occupation forced out Palestinians from mosque's courtyards of worshipers in preparation for the settlers' storming.
Israeli occupation forces assaulted, on Sunday, Palestinian worshippers who were performing dawn prayers at the mosque and brutally assaulted them, arresting a young Palestinian in a violent method.

10 Palestinian worshipers were wounded, on Sunday, in the vicinity of Al-Aqsa Mosque.
Thousands of Palestinians from various occupied lands have risen up, since dawn last Friday, against the occupation, which seeks to secure protection for settler groups to slaughter sacrifices at Al-Aqsa Mosque on the Passover holiday.
This act is considered a desecration of Al-Aqsa Mosque, the third-holiest site in Islam.
