Settlers storm Al-Aqsa mosque after assaulting guards

Settlers storm Al-Aqsa mosque after assaulting guards Six Israeli settlers stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound on Friday evening, after assaulting two mosque guards, according to the Jerusalem Governorate, Wafa reported. The governorate said the settlers forced their way through al-Ghawanimah Gate and reached the courtyard of the Dome of the Rock, in what it described as a dangerous first since Israel occupied Jerusalem in 1967. Palestinian authorities said the escalation forms part of a wider push to impose new realities inside Al-Aqsa, including calls to carry out plant and animal sacrifices at the mosque.
