She pointed out that “Israeli forces reinforced their special forces in front of the Al-Qibli prayer hall and surrounded the worshipers and Al-Murabitin in order to protect the settlers storming the courtyards of the Al-Aqsa mosque, at a time when they attacked the retreating and Al-Murabitun and pursued them to keep them in the path of the settlers’ invasion, adding that Israeli forces had arrested some of them.”

The Department of Islamic Endowments in Jerusalem said that “Israeli authorities prevented the settler incursion by laying siege to the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Old City, in parallel with increasing its spread and creating barriers in its vicinity.”
