Over 190 settlers defile Aqsa Mosque

At least 191 settlers entered the Mosque in different groups through its Maghariba Gate and toured its courtyards under police guard, according to al-Qastal News website.

During their tours at the Islamic holy site, the settlers received lectures from rabbis about the alleged temple mount and a number of them provocatively performed Talmudic prayers.

A number of settlers also gathered in al-Ghazali Square at the eastern wall of the Old City of Jerusalem and performed rituals in the morning.

Meanwhile, Jewish extremist groups continued to incite their followers on social media to march en masse to the Aqsa Mosque on August 7 to mark what they call the destruction of the temple.

One of these groups recently announced its plan to make preparations in coordination with the Israeli occupation authority in Jerusalem to receive thousands of settlers soon at the Islamic holy site through providing tour guides, shaded areas and drinking water.
