Jewish settlers, officials storm Aqsa mosque

OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)-- A group of 25 Jewish settlers accompanied by an Israeli minister stormed the holy Aqsa mosque in occupied Jerusalem on Thursday morning. Mahmoud Abu Ata, a spokesman for the Aqsa foundation for endowment and heritage, told the PIC that 25 settlers, a minister, and media personnel were escorted by Israeli soldiers in their “provocative” stroll inside the holy Islamic site. He condemned the recurrent storming of the Aqsa, charging that the storming fell in line with the Israeli occupation authority’s Judaization attempts of occupied Jerusalem. Fanatic Jewish settlers have threatened to repeatedly storm the holy compound in 2012 to establish the alleged “temple” on the ruins of the Aqsa mosque after destroying it.
