Dozens of Jewish settlers stormed the grounds of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, on Sunday morning, hours after it reopened.
The director of the blessed mosque, Sheikh Omar Al-Kiswani, said in an exclusive statement to Anatolia, that 105 settlers, divided into three groups, stormed Al-Aqsa since the morning hours, under the protection of the Israeli police.
Al-Kiswani added that the police arrested a Palestinian young man and two girls, including journalist Sondos pillow, from the squares of the mosque while they were during the storming.
He also said that this storming, which came hours after the reopening of the Holy Mosque, was aimed at "taming the worshipers and removing their joy."
Al-Kiswani stressed that these "incursions and arrests will not change the Arabism and Islamism of Al-Aqsa Mosque," adding that "the bond of Jerusalemites and the people of Palestine will fail the plans that the Israeli occupation wants to implement."
On the other hand, witnesses said that the worshipers chanted "God is great" in the face of the invading settlers.
The blessed Aqsa opened its doors to worshipers at dawn today, more than two months after it closed due to the repercussions of the outbreak of the new Corona virus.
Hundreds of worshipers entered Al-Aqsa courtyards from the doors of Hatta, Majlis and Silsilah, arrogant and chanting slogans reflecting their love for the Noble Mosque and the extent of their longing for it.
And the Islamic Endowments Department announced - at the dawn of the minarets of the Noble Mosque - at dawn today - that it would be reopened to worshipers to perform prayers and worship.
The department called on worshipers to spread in all the chapels of Al-Aqsa Mosque, and to take appropriate safety measures.
On March 23, the Endowment Department announced the suspension of worshipers entering the blessed mosque due to the outbreak of the Corona virus.
Since then, prayers are held at the Holy Mosque, but only with the participation of its guards and a number of Endowments Department staff.
