Several army jeeps provided the settlers with a security shield all the way through the assault and sealed off all access roads to the area.
A home to several Islamic holy shrines and historical places of worship, Ourata has often been the target of Israeli sacrilegious assaults.

Extremist rabbi Yehuda Glick has incited against the guards of the Aqsa Mosque and the Islamic Waqf Authority in Occupied Jerusalem and called on the Israeli government to take control of the Islamic holy site immediately.
This came in a lengthy speech he delivered in the Knesset, in which he called the Aqsa Mosque "the temple mount", and urged Israeli premier Benjamin Netanyahu to impose what he labelled as Israel's sovereignty over the holy site.
Glick, who was recently appointed by the right-wing Likud party as a Knesset member, waged vicious incitement against the Aqsa Mosque's guards in particular, describing them as "bullies and rioters", and called on the Israeli police to keep them away from him.
He also launched a scathing attack on the Islamic Waqf Authority in Jerusalem and called for revoking its jurisdiction over the Aqsa Mosque, warning that the [alleged] temple mount would remain under the "gentiles' occupation" if there was no immediate action to change it.
In a related development, the Israeli occupation police intend to file indictments against three Aqsa Mosque employees, namely, Hamza al-Nabali, Hamza Addisi, and Ra'ed Zaghir, for allegedly assaulting visitors at the holy site.
The Israeli police already issued banishment orders against eight employees working for the Awqaf authority and the Aqsa Mosque. Two of them are still in detention.
For its part, Jordan, which is responsible for the Aqsa Mosque, has intervened to stop any Israeli interference in the work of the Mosque guards.
Jordanian awqaf official Abdullah al-Abbadi said the government initiated diplomatic contacts with its Israeli counterpart to protect the legal rights of Aqsa Mosque employees and guards and to prevent any Israeli interference in their duties.

Israeli Special Forces Tuesday morning arrested the director of the renovation committee of the Aqsa Mosque, Bassam al-Hallaq, along with three of its employees and took them to a detention and investigation center in the Old City of Occupied Jerusalem.

Meanwhile, the guards of the Aqsa Mosque thwarted extremist settlers’ attempts to perform Talmudic rituals at the Aqsa Mosque.
In a similar context, Israeli police hindered repair works at the Aqsa Mosque in a step that was condemned by the Awqaf Department.

Groups of Israeli settlers stormed Monday morning al-Aqsa Mosque via the Israeli controlled al-Magharibeh Gate under protection of Israeli police and Special Forces.
A number of settlers who have stormed the compound tried to perform Talmudic rituals during their tours in total provocation to Palestinian worshipers who started chanting “Allah the Greatest” in protest against the settlers’ desecration of the Islamic holy place.
On the other hand, Israeli police continued to prevent a number of Jerusalemite women from having access to al-Aqsa for allegedly being involved in protests against settlers’ presence in the holy shrine.
Tension remained high in and around al-Aqsa Mosque since early October 2015 after Israeli police repeatedly stormed the site and restricted Palestinians’ access into it, while allowing large numbers of settlers to access the holy site under tight protection.
For Muslims, al-Aqsa represents the world's third holiest site. Jews, for their part, refer to the area as the "Temple Mount," claiming it was the site of two Jewish temples in ancient times.
Israel occupied the city of Jerusalem during the 1967 war. It later annexed the city in 1980, claiming it as the capital of the “Jewish state” in a move never recognized by the international community.
