Dozens of colonists stormed the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied Jerusalem today, entering in successive groups through the Mughrabi Gate and carrying out provocative tours of its courtyards under the protection of Israeli occupation forces.

The occupation forces imposed tight military restrictions on worshippers and visitors seeking to enter the mosque. At the same time, colonists attacked farms in the village of Kisan, south of Bethlehem.

Elsewhere in the occupied West Bank, Israeli occupation forces arrested at least four Palestinians during raids and searches across several areas, mainly in the cities of Salfit and Bethlehem, searching homes and tampering with their contents.
