Israeli settlers storm Al-Aqsa Mosque, Palestinian killed by forces’ gunfire

LONDON: Dozens of Israeli far-right settlers stormed into the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in the walled city of occupied East Jerusalem on Monday, under heavy escort by Israeli police. The Islamic Waqf Department, which oversees the complex, said that the settlers entered the site through the Bab Al-Magharebah Gate, toured the plaza and conducted prayers in the eastern section, decrying their act as “provocative.” Al-Aqsa, also known as Al-Haram Al-Sharif, is one of the holiest sites in Islam, alongside the mosques in Makkah and Madinah.
