Dozens of settlers stormed Al-Aqsa.
Today, Sunday, dozens of settlers stormed the yards of Al-Aqsa Mosque, under the protection of the Israeli occupation police.
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.
The so-called "Women for the Temple" group called on settlers to participate in the storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque, on the anniversary of the occupation of East Al-Quds, or what they call the "Unification of Jerusalem Day", which falls on the 29th of May, as part of the settler groups' efforts to impose public Talmudic rituals in occupied Al-Quds.
The leader of the “Lahava” settlement organization, Bentzi Gopstein, also called on the settlers to storm Al-Aqsa on “Al-Quds Day” at the end of this month, as it is “the day to begin demolishing the Dome of the Rock.”
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.
Arrests in the West Bank
The occupation forces launched a campaign of arrests in several cities in the occupied West Bank, after incursions and attacks they had carried out today, Sunday.
In the city of Ramallah, the occupation forces arrested five Palestinians: Muhammad Abdel Qader Nofal, Awad Jum`a Hammad, Mahmoud Maher Hammad, Muhammad Ezzat Hammad, and Obada Husam Hammad.
