RAMALLAH, Sept 17 (KUNA) -- Hundreds of settlers stormed Al-Aqsa mosque on Sunday, heavily guarded by occupation police force, on occasion of what they dub the "Jewish new year".
The Islamic Endowment directorate at Al-Quds reported via statement that occupation police had emptied the mosque from worshipers prior to storming it.
Local sources stated that they had banned Palestinian worshippers aged less than 50 years old from entering mosque compound and arrested a number of people.
Palestinian Supreme Judge Mahmoud Al-Habbash warned that this violates the legal and historic status quo of Al-Aqsa mosque, adding that it is not only an aggression against Muslims but against the international community and its laws and decisions. (end)
