More than a dozen Israelis stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, Islam’s third-holiest site, Al Jazeera reports.

In a video published on Telegram by a local media network and verified by Al Jazeera, Israeli police officers are seen walking beside the individuals who entered the compound.

The storming of the compound is a regular occurrence even though entering any part of it is forbidden for Jews due to the sacred nature of the site, according to Jewish law.
