Dozens of Jewish settlers stormed the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque today and raised Israeli flags at the dome of rock during the incursion.

Palestinian News Agency reports that colonists entered Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in groups and performed Talmudic rituals.

Al-Aqsa Mosque has been subjected to increasingly frequent incursions by colonists, a development that is viewed as a serious escalation and a violation of the sanctity of the mosque.
