Settlers storm Al-Aqsa Mosque

Over 100 settlers stormed Jerusalem’s Al-Aqsa Mosque this morning, marking the Jewish New Year.

The incursion in the Israeli occupied territory comes amid heightened tensions due to Israel's ongoing military onslaught in Lebanon and Gaza. The settlers' entry, under Israeli police protection, adds to the already volatile situation in the area, where such visits are viewed as provocative.
