Israeli Occupation forces have tightened the blockade on al-Aqsa Mosque and spread hundreds of soldiers and dozens of special forces and intelligence men on its gates, according to Palestinian sources. Al-Aqsa Foundation for the Waqf and heritage issued a press release on Sunday condemning the Israeli tight restrictions on the entry of worshipers to the Mosque, adding that they prevented the access of 30 students, detained identity cards for each one there and arrested a number of worshippers. A group of Jewish settlers, escorted by Israeli policemen, also stormed the Mosque and performed Talmudic rituals in its courtyard, the Foundation added.
