Dozens of Israeli settlers and police officers broke into al-Aqsa Mosque on Wednesday morning.

Local sources said that the Israeli police allowed 44 settlers to enter al-Aqsa Mosque for a morning tour.

They added that 8 high-level police officers, 15 Jewish notables, and 20 tour guides stormed the Mosque during the same period.

Another group of Israelis is expected to come for a second round of settler break-in into the Mosque following noon prayer.
