More than 430 Israeli settlers stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in occupied East Jerusalem, Al Jazeera reports.

A video verified by Al Jazeera’s Sanad fact-checking unit shows settlers walking through Al-Aqsa. The Palestinian news agency Wafa reports the settlers were under “heavy protection” from Israeli forces.

The settlers performed rituals of the week-long Jewish holiday known as Passover. Under a longstanding status-quo agreement, prayer at Al-Aqsa is reserved for Muslims.
