Hawzah News Agency (Occupied Palestine) - Dozens of Jewish settlers escorted by police forces on Wednesday morning desecrated the Aqsa Mosque in Occupied Al-Quds (Jerusalem).

75 settlers and five intelligence officers entered the Mosque through al-Maghariba Gate and toured its courtyards under police guard, according to the Islamic Awqaf Department in the holy city.

Some of the settlers were reportedly seen performing Jewish prayers in the eastern area of the Mosque.

Meanwhile, Israeli police officers kidnaped a Palestinian young man called Omar Ashtiya from the Aqsa Mosque, and searched other young men and forced them to leave the holy site.
