Groups of settlers began massive incursions into Al-Aqsa on Sunday morning on the occasion of the Jewish holiday of Purim. Occupation police stormed the Al-Qibli prayer hall yesterday evening, after the end of Tarawih prayers, and evacuated it of its secluded people.

Then stormed again at dawn today in anticipation of the raids on Sunday and Monday. Purim is one of the most popular days in the Israeli occupation state, as they celebrate the anniversary of the Jews’ defeat of their enemies in the Persian Kingdom during the fifth century BC.
