The Islamic Endowments Department in Jerusalem says at least 765 Israeli settlers have stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound to perform religious rituals and celebrate Passover today, Al Jazeera reports.
This comes a day after nearly 500 settlers had come into the holy Muslim site in the occupied East Jerusalem under armed protection from Israeli soldiers.
The Jerusalem Governorate said the fact that some Knesset members and rabbis were photographed at the site “is a provocation to Muslims’ feelings and a violation of international law”.
