Firas Al-Dibs, official at the Ministry of Endowments in the occupied Al-Quds, told Safa news agency that 121 settlers broke into Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa from the Mughrabi gate under heavy police protection.

He said that the settlers explained to each other the alleged Haykal, and performed Talmudic rituals at the Masjid. At the same time, the forces restricted the Muslims' access and apprehended some of the worshippers at the external gates.  

On Sunday morning, the police turned the surrounding of the Masjid into a military post, and deployed lots of officers and forces at the gates of the Masjid and surrounding of the Old Town. The soldiers also assaulted the worshippers and expelled a big number of youth who were inside.
