RAMALLAH, May 13, 2018 (MENA) - Scores of settlers on Sunday stormed al Aqsa Mosque from Bab el Maghreba gate under the protection of the Israeli occupation forces. Eyewitnesses said settlers stormed the mosque in successive groups to perform Talmudic rituals. The number of Israeli settlers storming the holy site has risen since US president Donald Trump's declaration of occupied Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. Members of the so-called "Temple Mount" movement have been publicly calling its followers to participate in wide scale mass raids on the holy site.
