Hawzah News Agency - (Occupied Palestine) - Dozens of Jewish settlers forced their way into al - Quds flashpoint Al-Aqsa Mosque complex on Thursday, according to an official with the al – Quds Islamic Waqf.

The Islamic Waqf, a religious trust, said in a statement: "124 settlers stormed the mosque on Thursday morning."

The settlers entered through the compound’s al-Mugharbah Gate, protected by Israeli police.

Israel occupied al-Quds (East Jerusalem), in which the Al-Aqsa is located, during the 1967 Arab-Israeli War.

In a move never recognized by the international community, it annexed the entire city in 1980, claiming it as the Jewish state’s “eternal and undivided” capital
