Raising the flag and collective prayers – storming Al-Aqsa on the so-called ‘Independence Day’

Jerusalem - Ma'an - Settlers' incursions into the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque began Tuesday morning, on the anniversary of the so-called "Independence Day." Successive groups of settlers stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque, through the Mughrabi Gate, the keys of which have been controlled by the occupation authorities since the occupation of Jerusalem. A settler raised the Israeli flag and took pictures of it at Al-Aqsa, guarded by the occupation police accompanying them. The settlers performed collective and public prayers during the storming. The alleged Temple groups and religious schools called for raising Israeli flags in Al-Aqsa during today's raids, and two weeks ago they began preparing for this raid, which was entitled "500 Israeli flags inside Al-Aqsa." The settlers also hung the Israeli flag on the Mughrabi Gate, through which the raids were carried out. Source: Maan News Agency
