Israeli settlers in their hundreds attack the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

The Israeli settlers stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem on Sunday morning, during the fourth day of the Jewish holiday of Passover. The settlers entered the mosque in successive groups and performed Talmudic rituals in the eastern region. The presence of Israeli police and settlers at the Islamic holy site is a provocation against the Muslim population of Jerusalem who worship at Al-Aqsa, according to the Jordanian authority in charge of the holy sites in Jerusalem. Israeli police also harassed Muslim worshippers at the mosque, restricting the entry of young Palestinian men into the mosque and confiscating identity cards of those entering in through its external gates. Palestinians already inside the mosque responded with prayers, chants and shouts of “god is the greatest.” The police arrested one young man while removing the rest.
