Hundreds of Israeli settlers, escorted by policemen, stormed Al-Quds's (Jerusalem’s) al-Aqsa Mosque on Wednesday through the Maghareba Gate.

Nearly 300 Israeli settlers and 15 intelligence officers toured the site as part of the morning break-in shift. 

Over recent days, tension has been running high at and around al-Aqsa Mosque after Israeli settlers locked the al-Rahma Gate before Muslim worshipers.

On Monday, Muslim worshipers smashed the iron locks and chains stealthily set up by Israeli police overnight at al-Rahma Gate. Israeli cops violently attacked the Muslim worshipers and arrested scores of them, including women.
