Israelis Who Usurped Palestinian Lands Storm Al-Aqsa Mosque Under Police Protection

Israelis who have usurped Palestinian lands stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque, located in occupied East Jerusalem.

According to the Palestinian news agency WAFA, the entry and storming of Al-Aqsa's courtyard by fanatic Jews took place under the protection of Israeli police. During the raid, strict security measures were enforced at several gates leading to the site, and the Israelis performed "Talmudic rituals."

It was reported that, as a preparatory measure for the raid, Israeli police also implemented strict "security" measures in Jerusalem’s Old City.

Al-Aqsa Mosque Raids

According to the peace treaty signed between Israel and Jordan on October 26, 1994, Al-Aqsa Mosque is under the administration of the Jerusalem Islamic Waqf, which operates under Jordan’s Ministry of Awqaf, Islamic Affairs, and Holy Places.

Since 2003, Israelis have been entering Al-Aqsa Mosque under police escort, based on Israel’s unilateral decision, without the permission of the Islamic Waqf administration. The Jerusalem Islamic Waqf administration considers these entries as raids and emphasizes that they violate Muslim sovereignty.

Under the claim that the site contains the remnants of Solomon's Temple, Israelis have been conducting excavation works beneath the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, which houses the Qibla Mosque, the Dome of the Rock, a museum, madrasas, and a large courtyard.

The Israeli government claims that the historical status quo, which stipulates that "only Muslims are allowed to worship at Al-Aqsa while adherents of other religions may only visit," remains intact.

However, it is frequently captured on camera that fanatic Jews, under the protection of Israeli police, perform prayers and religious rituals during their raids on Al-Aqsa Mosque.
