Scores of Israeli settlers break into Al-Aqsa

Scores of Israeli settlers escorted by police Sunday broke into the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in occupied Al-Quds city in groups and performed rituals in some of its courtyards, according to witnesses.

Since 2003, the Israeli occupation authorities have allowed settlers into the compound almost on a daily basis, with the exclusion of Friday, the Muslim day of rest and worship.
The development comes on the 53rd anniversary of the Al-Aqsa Mosque arson, when Denis Michael Rohan, an Australian tourist, set the main building inside the mosque and its pulpit on fire.
The Islamic Waqf has repeatedly described the settlers' presence in Al-Aqsa Mosque as provocative, saying that Palestinian worshippers and guards at Al-Aqsa feel uncomfortable with the presence of Israeli police and settlers touring the Islamic holy site.
Israel captured East Al-Quds, where Al-Aqsa Mosque is located, during the Six-Day War in 1967 in a move never recognized by the international community.
