Occupied Jerusalem – On Monday, dozens of Zionist settlers stormed the courtyards of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, as reported by the Palestinian News Agency (WAFA) and confirmed by several local sources.sadanews+2
Eyewitness accounts indicated that groups of settlers, entering from the Moroccan Gate, conducted provocative tours inside the mosque compound and performed Talmudic rituals under heavy protection from the occupation forces. These incursions are part of an ongoing pattern of systematic violations, further intensifying after the comprehensive Zionist aggression against the Palestinian people in Gaza and the occupied West Bank since October 2023. During this period, over 68,000 settlers have stormed Al-Aqsa, shielded by occupation forces, while severe restrictions have been imposed on Palestinian access and entry to both the mosque and the gates of the Old City.aa+2
Such actions represent a grave escalation in the Zionist regime’s attempts to assert control over Islamic holy sites and change the historic status quo, threatening religious freedom and regional stability. Algeria strongly condemns these provocations, standing firmly with the Palestinian and Sahrawi peoples in resistance against colonial aggression and defending their legitimate rights to sovereignty and dignity.minanews+2
