Dozens of Jewish extremist settlers early Sunday stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque / Haram Al Sharif compound in the occupied holy city of Jerusalem, a Palestinian source confirmed.

A statement by the Islamic Awqaf and Al-Aqsa Affairs said that today's raid was carried out through al-Magharebah Gate in groups under heavy protection of Israeli special police.

"The settlers provocatively performed Talmudic rituals, while Muslim worshipers peacefully confronted them," the statement added.
