Al Jazeera reports that dozens of Israelis have stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, Islam’s third-holiest site, and raised the Israeli flag.
Footage verified by Al Jazeera shows a man holding the flag as an Israeli police officer speaks with him calmly and does not forcibly escort him from the compound.
The incident follows rallying calls made by Beyadenu, an organisation that says it aims “to strengthen the Jewish People’s connection” to the holy site, for the Israeli flag to be raised at the mosque on May 14.
