Nearly 1,400 illegal Israeli settlers stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied East Jerusalem holy city on Sunday to perform their Sukkot holiday rituals, according to the Anadolu reports.
According to the Jerusalem Waqf which is responsible for Islamic edifices in the Al-Aqsa mosque, the settlers stormed the site through Mugharbi Gate in the western wall of the mosque under heavy protection from Israeli police forces.
The reports indicated the far-right Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir infamous for the open genocide call against Palestinians also joined the illegal settlers in performing Talmudic rituals at the site.
