Al-Jazeera correspondent said that groups of settlers stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque in limited numbers since the early morning, coinciding with Israel's celebration of what it calls the 74th "Independence Day".

The preacher of Al-Aqsa Mosque, Sheikh Ikrima Sabri, said in an interview with Al-Jazeera that the Al-Murabitoun in Al-Aqsa thwarted the settlers' plan to introduce Israeli flags to the campus.

For his part, a spokesman for the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) said that the Al-Murabitat and Al-Murabitat's response to the incursions into Al-Aqsa is "a heroism that fails the plans of the occupation."

He added that "the confusion experienced by the Zionist institutions is evidence of their failure in the battle of will with our people and their resistance."

In the same context, a spokesman for the Palestinian National Liberation Movement (Fatah) said, "We call on the hands of the stationed people in the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque and their response to the settlers' flocks."

"Our people will defend Al-Aqsa Mosque with all force, and the occupation must bear responsibility and results," he added.

Meanwhile, Palestinian medical sources reported that 12 people were injured inside the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque since this morning.

Siege of Al-Musalla Al-Qibli

The occupation forces fired tear gas and rubber bullets at a group of Almoravids to get them out of the tribal prayer hall.

Al-Jazeera correspondent quoted eyewitnesses as saying that two of the trapped men were wounded by rubber bullets fired by the occupation soldiers.

However, the reporter made it clear that the repression carried out by the soldiers did not develop into a broad confrontation, and the Palestinians were able to reach Rabat in the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque, and a group of them prayed in front of the Al-Qibli prayer hall.

Al-Jazeera correspondent Elias Karam stated that the settlers stormed the Temple Mount in limited numbers under the protection of the occupation forces according to their usual scheme, where they were able to storm Al-Aqsa in batches between 7 and 11 in the morning and then for another hour between 1 and 2 in the afternoon, in a path that starts from the Mughrabi Gate and reaches to Bab al-Rahma Chapel.

Extremist groups of settlers had incited to hold celebrations for what they call Independence Day inside the Temple Mount, raising Israeli flags and chanting the Israeli anthem, but they were unable to do so.

Among those groups is the extremist "Bedino" organization, which said on Twitter that its call came after the Al-Aqsa Mosque was closed to Jews over the past two weeks, noting that its guides will be waiting for the settlers to accompany them upon the storming.

But the Palestinians have gathered since the morning in the courtyards of Al-Aqsa and performed the Duha prayer, after the Palestinian factions called for mobilization and mobilization in Al-Aqsa in response to the Israeli attacks.

The Almoravids chanted the Eid takbeers, and also gathered in the dhikr circles to confirm their determination to confront these intrusions.

The occupation forces prevented Palestinian youths from entering Al-Aqsa Mosque through the Al-Asbat and Hatta Gates, at dawn today.

The occupation forces also tightened entry procedures.

Palestinian media broadcast footage of the occupation forces preventing young men from crossing the security barriers, and withdrawing the IDs of others before entering the council door to reach Al-Aqsa.

It is noteworthy that the Israeli government prevented Jews from entering Al-Aqsa Mosque during the last ten days of Ramadan, after the Palestinians confronted the continuous incursions by settlers and the occupation forces’ attacks on worshipers.
