45 Israeli settlers storm Al Aqsa Mosque

Forty-five extremist settlers stormed Al Aqsa Mosque earlier Tuesday.

The Islamic Awqaf department in Al Quds said the Israeli settlers broke into the Muslim's holy shrine from Bab Al Magharbeh gate in six groups under heavy protection by Israeli forces and police.

The settlers provocatively toured Aqsa yards and performed their Talmudic rites, the department said.
