Dozens of Israeli settlers on Sunday morning forced their way into al-Aqsa Mosque under police guard.

A spokesman for Al-Quds's (Jerusalem's) Islamic Awqaf Department told Quds Press that 57 Israeli settlers broke into al-Aqsa Mosque via al-Maghareba Gate and roamed its courtyards while receiving presentations on the alleged "Temple Mount".

Quds Press said that 20 Jewish students entered the Mosque during the early morning hours amid heavy police presence.

Israeli settlers carry out daily incursions into al-Aqsa Mosque, except on Fridays and Saturdays, in two rounds: the morning and the afternoon.
