The Islamic Endowments Department in Palestine reported on Wednesday that hundreds of Israeli settlers stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque in groups through the al-Mughrabi Gate to mark the second day of Jewish Passover.

During the raid, the settlers, who were guarded and escorted by Israeli occupation forces, performed "Talmudic rituals" and roamed the Al-Aqsa courtyards, according to Al Mayadeen. 

Meanwhile, Israeli forces imposed severe restrictions on Palestinian worshippers, inspecting their IDs at the gates of al-Quds, and preventing many of them from entering the mosque.
