Illegal Israeli settlers storm Al-Aqsa Mosque courtyards (Al-Qastal)
Israeli occupation forces on Tuesday stormed the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque and deployed in large numbers to secure the storming of illegal Israeli settlers, led by former Knesset member Yehuda Glick.
On the sixth day of the "Jewish Passover holiday", Israeli occupation forces stationed at the gates of Al-Aqsa Mosque continued to prevent many worshippers from entering to perform the Fajr prayer in the Mosque.
One of the guards of Al-Aqsa confirmed that the doors of the Mosque were opened, but the occupation forces prevented those under the age of 50 from entering to perform the dawn prayer.

A few weeks ago, calls for illegal Israeli settlers to storm Al-Aqsa and attempt to present sacrifices inside the Mosque on the occasion of the start of the "Jewish Passover holiday" escalated. Some settler groups even set a financial reward for settlers who could do so.
On Monday, the Islamic Endowments Department in occupied Al-Quds reported that hundreds of illegal Israeli settlers stormed the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque from the side of Al-Mughrabi Gate under heavy protection from the Israeli occupation forces.
