"Israeli" Likud Party member Moshe Feiglin, escorted by 50 Jewish settlers, early Tuesday stormed Al Haram El Sharif compound in occupied al-Quds to perform religious rituals, under the protection of the "Israeli" forces.

Meanwhile, "Israeli" soldiers arrested Tuesday several Palestinians who were praying inside the mosque in the latest act of provocation against Arabs in the occupied city.
According to reports, "Israeli" forces arrested four Palestinian Journalists, a TV photographer and a girl from inside al-Aqsa mosque.

A state of high tension prevailed in the old city of al-Quds, where "Israeli" police were deployed around the Holy mosque mosque, its main gates, streets and roads that lead to the it, banning all Muslim worshippers under 45 from entering the mosque.

Earlier, al-Aqsa Foundation for Waqf and heritage warned of the consequences of calls by an "Israeli" organization, belonging to the ruling Likud party and led by Feiglin, for storming al-Aqsa Mosque on Tuesday, on occasion of Hebrew "Sukkot" holiday.

The Aqsa Foundation stressed that "al-Aqsa Mosque belongs to Muslims alone and noted that although the "Israeli" police have earlier prevented Feiglin from entering the Holy Mosque to celebrate his success in Likud elections for fear of opposition reactions, he will likely be allowed to enter it this time.:
It further warned that al-Aqsa Mosque has been witnessing during these days lots of dangers, as the escalation of raids, desecrations and attempts to perform Talmudic rituals in its yards by settlers, Jewish groups, soldiers and foreign tourists.
It also noted that the number of those who have stormed al-Aqsa Mosque since the beginning of the year reached 4700 settlers, nearly 3250 soldiers and around 220 thousand foreign tourists who have entered al-Aqsa, under the occupation forces' heavy guards.

"The occupation puts tight restrictions on the entry of worshipers to the Mosque and prevents some Jerusalemites and citizens from 1948-occupied Palestine from entering al-Aqsa for different periods of time, that may reach years in some cases," added the foundation.
