According to the Islamic Awqaf Administration, at least 67 settlers entered the Mosque in groups and toured its courtyards under police protection.

More groups of settlers are expected to defile the Islamic holy site after Muslim worshipers perform the noon prayer.

Last Sunday, the zionist occupation police allowed Jewish settlers to enter the Mosque again after they prevented them for about 19 days following the angry protests in Jerusalem and at the Aqsa Mosque and the military confrontation with the Palestinian resistance in Gaza.
