Israelis have stormed the courtyards of al-Aqsa Mosque. Footage published by Quds News Network showed what appears to be a group of settlers entering the compound under the escort of Israeli police. Wafa news agency reported that dozens of Israelis carried out the incursion, while the Jerusalem Governorate said a total of 465 settlers entered the courtyards, taking what it described as “provocative tours” of the area. The visits are deeply controversial as they are seen by Palestinians and much of the Muslim world as an attempt to assert Israeli control over the al-Aqsa Mosque Compound, known to Jewish people as the Temple Mount.
