Jerusalem: Thousands of colonists stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Bab al-Rahma Thursday, the fifth day of the Jewish Passover holiday.
According to Palestine News and Information Agency – WAFA, the Jerusalem Governorate reported in a statement that thousands of colonists stormed the Al-Aqsa compound from the Mughrabi Gate in groups and performed Talmudic rituals.
The governorate added that extremist Israeli Knesset member Zvi Sukkot from the Religious Zionism Party performed the epic prostration in Al-Aqsa Mosque. Thousands of colonists also stormed the Western Wall plaza west of Al-Aqsa Mosque to perform the so-called “Priest’s Blessing” prayer on the fifth day of the Jewish Passover holiday.
The occupation police imposed strict security measures, transforming the mosque and its surroundings into military points, preventing many citizens from entering and confiscating their ID cards. Local sources said that colonists stormed the Bab al-Rahma Cemetery and performed Talmudic rituals simultaneously with the storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque, a blatant violation of the sanctity of the cemetery.
