Dozens of settlers broke into Al-Aqsa mosque, Sunday morning, from Al-Mughrabi gate within close protection by Israeli forces in the forth day of the so-called Jewish "Hanukka" festival.

Israeli forces provided a full protection for the settlers during their break-in and their walking in Al-Aqsa's yards until their departure from Alsilsila gate.

The Islamic Waqf in Jerusalem stated that 130 settlers, including 40 Jewish student raided Al-Aqsa Mosque and walked in its yards while having an informative lesson about the alleged Temple.

Coinciding with the so-called Jewish "Hanukka" festival which starts on December 10 until 18, leaders of the federation of Temple mount organizations called extremist settlers to break into Al-Aqsa mosque and turn this winter into a Jewish winter.

Those extremist organizations called for devoting the celebrations of the festival by lighting candlesticks, dancing at night in front of the Lion's gate, and lighting candles near Damascus gate.

Israeli forces continue to impose restrictions on the entry of the Palestinians to the mosque and hold their identity documentations outdoors.

Settlers break into the yards of Al-Aqsa mosque every day, day and night, through provocative actions and close protection by Israeli forces.
