Settlers stormed the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque, under escort from the Israeli occupation forces, on Sunday morning, while Al-Mourabitoun has been preparing since yesterday to confront calls by extremist Jewish groups to storm the Haram al-Sharif.

The Al-Jazeera correspondent said that a number of settlers stormed the courtyards of the Al-Aqsa Mosque under the escort of the Israeli occupation forces, coinciding with the end of the Israeli ban on storming the mosque, while Palestinian calls spread to travel to and protect the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

The extremist Jewish "temple groups" have been circulating calls on social media for the past few days, threatening to storm Al-Aqsa Mosque.

Yesterday, these groups published a photo of a number of their affiliates standing in front of the entrance to the Mughrabi Gate Bridge leading to the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, and one of them carries an automatic weapon in the place.

The Israeli government decided to prevent settlers from storming the mosque more than two weeks ago, due to the last ten days of Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr, in addition to the field conditions, without announcing its cancellation.

The settlers are demanding that they be re-allowed to enter the mosque without it being clear whether the Israeli government will take this decision soon, in light of the security situation in East Jerusalem, the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.

In the context, the Israeli parliamentarian for the extremist "religious Zionism" party, Itamar Ben Gvir, called on the Israeli parliament to storm Al-Aqsa, and said on Twitter, "It seems that (Moshe) Gafni knows an agreement by the Prime Minister (Benjamin Netanyahu) to cease fire in Gaza.

Moshe Gafni is the head of the Israeli newspaper, "Mashaba," and calls for the Israelis not to be allowed to storm the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

Ben Ghafir added, "There is not much time left to find the answer. Tomorrow at 7 am the mountain must be open to the Jews. Closing the mountain means that Israel has surrendered to Hamas."

Israeli lawmakers and journalists accuse the Israeli government, headed by Netanyahu, of having concluded a ceasefire agreement that includes not allowing the Israelis to storm the Al-Aqsa Mosque, but Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz and other government officials denied this, and confirmed that the fire agreement was concluded without setting conditions.

On Thursday, the Egyptian authorities announced that an agreement had been reached for a "reciprocal and simultaneous" ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, and it would actually take effect from two o'clock Friday morning, Palestine time.

Since 2003, the Israeli police have allowed settlers to enter the mosque through the Mughrabi Gate in the western wall of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, causing clashes between Palestinians and the Israeli police.

Sheikh Jarrah

On the other hand, the occupation forces suppressed a protest stand yesterday in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood in occupied Jerusalem, and prevented dozens of solidarity activists from entering the neighborhood.

Al-Jazeera correspondent, Sherine Abu Aqleh, said that the occupation forces fired stun grenades and metal bullets at the demonstrators, who were protesting against the continued siege imposed on the neighborhood.

And the occupation authorities prevent entry or exit from the neighborhood to non-residents, while allowing settlers to move freely in it, within the framework of plans to displace the Palestinian population, which was the spark of the recent popular gift that the occupation faced with widespread attacks, and it sparked a confrontation with the resistance in the Gaza Strip.

Since April 13, the situation in the Palestinian territories has exploded as a result of attacks by the Israeli police and settlers in Jerusalem and the vicinity of Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood against Palestinians, following Israeli efforts to evacuate 12 homes in the neighborhood from Palestinian families and hand them over to settlers.
