More than 2,000 Israeli settlers and ultra-nationalists have entered Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in occupied East Jerusalem. Israeli police prevented the settlers from entering the mosque itself. Many were seen performing Jewish religious rituals. Israel’s National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and another minister were among the group.
