Israeli settlers storm Al-Aqsa Mosque: Report

Israeli settlers stormed the courtyards of the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound on Wednesday morning, sources told Al Jazeera.

Witnesses reported groups of settlers entering the holy site under heavy protection from Israeli police.

Tensions at Al-Aqsa have remained high amid repeated incursions by settlers, which Palestinians view as a provocation and a threat to the status quo at one of Islam’s holiest sites.
