Dozens of Israeli settlers Tuesday morning stormed into Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in occupied Jerusalem.

The Palestinian Wafa Agency reported that dozens of settlers rided Al-Aqsa courtyards under the protection of Israeli occupation forces and conducted provocative tours there.

During the incursion, Israeli forces imposed restrictions on the entry of Palestinian worshippers to the mosque.

Additionally, Israeli forces intensified the restrictions at the gates of the Old City, effectively turning the area into a military zone.
