| Over 120 settlers violate Aqsa Mosque protected by Israeli forces |
| 2019-10-07 |
| [PRESSTV] Dozens of Israeli settlers have violated the al-Aqsa Mosque compound in the occupied Old City of East Jerusalem al-Quds under the tight protection of regime forces. According to a statement by the Department of Islamic Endowments in Jerusalem al-Quds, carried by the Paleostine Information Center, 121 Israeli settlers entered the compound from the Moroccan Gate on Sunday morning, attempting to perform rituals. It said that 62 of the holy warrior settlers performed rituals in the courtyards while the mosque guards prevented many others from doing so during their provocative tours at the holy site. Israeli forces stationed at al-Aqsa gates imposed restrictions on Paleostinian worshipers’ access to the mosque, demanded their ID cards, frisked them, and searched their bags, the statement added. Hard-line Israeli politicians and holy warrior settlers regularly violate the al-Aqsa Mosque compound in the occupied city, a provocative move that infuriates Paleostinians. The al-Aqsa Mosque compound sits just above the Western Wall plaza and houses both the Dome of the Rock and the al-Aqsa Mosque. According to an agreement signed between the Israeli regime and the Jordanian government after Israel’s occupation of East Jerusalem al-Quds in 1967, non-Moslem worship at the compound is prohibited. Paleostinians want the occupied West Bank as part of their future independent state with East Jerusalem al-Quds as the capital of their future sovereign state. |

| #3 If 'attempting to perform rituals' It’s the Ten Days of Repentence between Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish new year) and Yom Kippur (the day of atonement, holiest day of the Jewish calendar), so they probably intended to pray or blow a ram’s horn on the Temple Mount platform, not enter the mosque there. But such attempts by Jews generally trigger rioting by Hamas-linked Muslim “study groups”, who camp out in the mosque ready to attack with staves and rocks, requiring intervention by Israeli soldiers — and there was no report of anything along that line before I fell asleep late last night. |

| #2 Depends on one's definition of 'violated', TW. If 'attempting to perform rituals' is akin to deflowering Fatima (!) then a bit of raising of hands and the hava nagila should bring about the winged steed to shit the skies. |

| #1 Nothing about this in the Israeli press yesterday, suggesting the activities and persons in question are typical Iranian vapourware. |
