From Al-Madina News: The level of security was increased as Israeli settlers entered the Al-Aqsa Mosque this morning, Tuesday, while being heavily guarded by the Israeli occupation army’s special forces.
According to a source from the Islamic Endowments Department, “extreme organisations infiltrated the Al-Aqsa Mosque courtyards and made provocative tours, with some of them engaging in open Talmudic ceremonies, all under the watchful eye of the Israeli special forces.
He said in statements that, in conjunction with “Yom Kippur,” the occupying authorities intensified their policies at the doors regarding the admittance of worshipers.
According to “Arabi 21,” there were large gatherings of settlers in the hallowed Al-Aqsa Mosque’s Islamic Al-Buraq Square where they engaged in Talmudic rituals and prayers.
In a related development, the Israeli occupation authorities increased the level of security alert on Yom Kippur out of concern that Palestinian operations against the occupying army troops and settler groups would be carried out.
And the Israeli “I24” website announced: “A complete closure has been imposed on the West Bank, starting at midnight, and Palestinians will not be allowed to enter Israel.” With “Yom Kippur” approaching on Tuesday and against the backdrop of the wave of operations, the Israeli security apparatus is on high alert to prevent every operation.
He noted that “the Israeli General Staff’s Operations Department declared that it will augment the IDF with 26 battalions on Yom Kippur, during which thousands of soldiers will be present in the West Bank and along the line of contact.
According to the website, “The major responsibility of these forces will be to reinforce and safeguard the main thoroughfares, and during “Yom Kippur,” they will be present in the settlements and watch over them.
With the exception of Fridays and Saturdays when Al-Aqsa Mosque is open, the occupation authorities routinely violate the mosque, and the frequency of these violations rises amid daily invasions by radicals.
In order to prepare for its destruction and the erection of their purported temple in its stead, the occupation is working to realise its plans intended at judaizing Al-Aqsa Mosque and attaining spatial division after it partially succeeded in doing so.
