Groups of Israeli extremist settlers early Sunday stormed compounds of Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, a Palestinian source confirmed. The General Director of the Islamic Endowments and Al-Aqsa Affairs, Sheikh Azzam Al-Khatib, said that today's raid by dozens of Jewish settlers was carried out through al-Magharebah Gate and under heavy protection of Israeli special forces and police. Extremist settlers provocatively toured Al-Aqsa yards, Al-Khatib added.
