Jerusalem: Dozens of colonists stormed the courtyards of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque today, under the protection of the Israeli occupation police. According to Qatar News Agency, dozens of colonists entered Al-Aqsa Mosque, conducted provocative tours, and performed Talmudic rituals. The incident has heightened tensions in the area, with the actions seen as a provocation by many. Since the beginning of the ongoing conflict, marked by what is described as relentless genocide by the Israeli occupation on the Gaza Strip and its aggression against the West Bank, the Israeli occupation forces have increased their security measures. These heightened measures are evident at the gates of Al-Aqsa Mosque and the entrance gates to the Old City, contributing to the escalating tensions in the region.
