A group of Jewish extremist settlers, including members of the Israeli intelligence early Tuesday stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque / Haram Al Sharif compound in occupied Jerusalem, a Palestinian source confirmed.

The General Director of the Islamic Awqaf and Al-Aqsa Affairs, Sheikh Azzam Al-Khatib, told Petra's reporter in Ramallah that today's raid by the radical settlers was carried out from Al- Magharebah Gate under heavy protection of Israeli special forces.

Al-Khatib stressed that the settlers provocatively toured the Al-Aqsa yards and listened to explanations on the alleged "Temple mount", before leaving from Al-Selseleh Gate.
