Israeli settlers storm Al-Aqsa Mosque compound

Israeli settlers stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in East al-Quds on [date not specified], according to Palestine’s official Wafa news agency. The agency reported that the settlers “entered its courtyards and performed Talmudic rituals.”

The Al-Aqsa Mosque compound is located on a plateau in East al-Quds, which was occupied by the Israeli regime during the 1967 Six-Day War and later annexed in a move not recognized by most of the international community. For Muslims, the compound houses Islam’s third-holiest site, Al-Aqsa Mosque, and the Dome of the Rock, a seventh-century structure believed to be the place where the Prophet Muhammad (s) ascended to heaven during the Night Journey (Meraj).

According to the report by Mehr News Agency, the incident highlights ongoing tensions at the site, which has been a frequent flashpoint in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
