 In another act of hostility against the Palestinians, scores of Israeli
settlers stormed the al-Aqsa Mosque's courtyard in occupied al-Quds.
Eyewitnesses said the illegal settlers led by radical leaders forced their way
into the Haram al-Sharif (Holy Sanctuary) courtyard, but Israeli police did not
try to stop them.
Police officers later on attacked Palestinian worshipers and arrested one when
they tried to apparently stop the extremist settlers from causing damage inside
the courtyard.
According to reports, police also harassed other worshipers who were conducting
their midday prayers at the Mosque in al-Quds (Jerusalem).
Palestinian sources said groups of right-wing Israeli extremists made three
attempts on Monday to get in: First in the morning, then again at midday
followed by another attempt in the afternoon.
Hatem Abdul Qader, who handles the affairs for the Palestinian Authority in al-Quds,
warned that ultra-orthodox Jewish groups had planned to storm the al-Aqsa Mosque
on Thursday to hold Jewish prayers.
Abdul Qader called on the Palestinians in al-Quds and Israeli Arabs to stand up
to the extremist Jews and prevent them from violating the sanctity of one of
Islam's holiest shrines.
Since last week, the Palestinian committee for al-Quds has said that local
activists and youths will have a full-time presence at the gates of the mosque
to prevent intrusions that tend to happen during Jewish holidays such as this
weekend's Passover festival.

This new government of Netanyahu and the racist Liebermann are making sure that no Muslims remain in holy Quds. These movements of the settlers are well-planned. They are removing all the Arabs from East Jerusalem so that Jerusalem as a whole belongs to this usurper and racist state.
