Jerusalemite sources reported that 54 settlers broke into al-Aqsa Mosque from Bab al-Maghareba and roamed the courtyards of the holy site in the presence of a large number of Israeli policemen and armed special forces.
The sources noted that 35 Jewish students and 34 members of Intelligence Service had broken into al-Aqsa Mosque during the morning shift of incursions.
Palestinian national and Islamic figures have earlier called for intensifying Palestinian presence in the holy shrine in face of Israeli escalated and provocative break-ins.

A group of around fifteen Israeli colonialist families invaded, on Monday at night, two Palestinian buildings close to the Ibrahimi Mosque, in the southern West Bank city of Hebron, despite being evicted earlier following a court ruling.
The colonizers invaded the two buildings, after claiming they purchased them with the approval of the ‘Civil Defense Administration,” which is the executive branch of the Israeli military occupation of the West Bank. One of the homes is owned by Za’tari family members who said that the colonizers stormed their building, terrorizing the children, and |
kicked them out, before raising the Israeli flag on top of the building.
Israeli soldiers were heavily deployed in the area but did not intervene or try to remove the illegal colonizers.
It is worth mentioning that the colonizers invaded the two buildings, two years ago, and created colonialist outposts, they dubbed ‘Beit Rachel” and Beit Leah,” but were evicted by the army after a court ruling, despite their allegations of “purchasing the properties.”

Mahmoud Ahmad Odeh, 46
The Israeli prosecutor’s office has dropped all charges against an Israeli colonizer who, on November 30, 2017, shot and killed a Palestinian farmer, after a group of colonizers attacked Palestinians who were working in their orchard.
Israeli sources said the prosecution ruled that the colonizers who opened fire on the Palestinians, including the one who killed Mahmoud Ahmad Odeh, 46, “acted in self-defense,” and alleged that the colonial Israeli settlers “were picnicking in the area when Mahmoud and several other Palestinians hurled stones at them, mildly wounding one.”
The prosecutor’s office therefore dropped the “negligent homicide” charges against the Israeli perpetrator who killed Odeh.
Palestinian eyewitnesses of the fatal Israeli attack contradicted the Israeli allegation and confirmed that the Israeli colonizers assaulted many Palestinian farmers in their olive orchards in Qusra village, south of the northern West Bank city of Nablus, and opened fire at them, killing Odeh after shooting him with a live round in the chest.
The incident took place when approximately 20 settlers who came from the illegal “Yesh Kod” outpost, which was built on private Palestinian lands, assaulted the Palestinian and his family, before one of them shot Mahmoud.
The colony where the Israeli assailants reside is nearly 15 kilometers away from the Odeh’s land.
Following the shooting, Emad Jamil, a member of Qusra Village Council, said that “It is clear they infiltrated the area, close to many Palestinian homes, with one goal in mind, to commit murder – there have been many attacks by colonists in this area, including the burning, cutting and uprooting of trees.”
Eyewitnesses said the colonizers attacked many farmers in the area, and assaulted Odeh while in his orchard in Ras al-Nakhel area, east of the village, before shooting him with a live round in the chest.
Hours after the fatal Israeli attack, dozens of settlers and soldiers invaded Qusra, before the army shot and seriously wounded one Palestinian in his pelvis, and injured many others, while the settlers also smashed the front windshield and one of the windows of a Palestinian ambulance, wounding the driver in his eye.
The Palestinian Red Crescent identified the injuries among the Palestinians as:
Scores of Palestinians who suffered the effects of teargas inhalation.
Case closed against parents who shot dead Palestinian attacker
Central District Attorney's Office cites lack of guilt in decision to close case against parents who accompanied group of 20 children on trip near Qusra and came under attack by a Palestinian mob; the shooting of Mahmoud Za’al Odeh, who was among the rioters, was found to be in self defense.
The Central District Attorney's Office said Monday it has decided to close the case against two Israelis who shot dead a Palestinian who was part of a group throwing stones at a group of children they were accompanying, citing lack of guilt.
The decision stated the shooting of 47-year-old Mahmoud Za’al Odeh from the village of Qusra was found to be in self defense.
On November 30, 2017, a group of 20 Israeli children and two parents accompanying them went on a Bar Mitzva trip near the village of Qusra, in the Nablus Governorate.
During their hike, the Israeli group came under attack by dozens of Palestinian rioters, including Odeh, who hurled rocks and stones at them from up a slope.
The two parents, who claimed they felt their lives were in danger, said they only fired warning shots into the air. One of the bullets hit Odeh, killing him.
The Israeli group fled their attackers into a cave, with some of the Palestinians pursuing and attacking the children and one of the parents, wounding the adult.
Some residents from Qusra came to aid the group of Israelis and protect them until IDF forces arrived at the scene to extract them.
The investigation confirmed that the shooting was done while the attackers were standing up the slope and throwing stones down at the Israeli group. This was in line with the Israeli suspects' version, whose shooting into the air could have conceivably hit Odeh, who was among the stone throwers.
In addition, the Israelis' version of events was backed by the testimony of one of Qusra's residents, who said the suspects fired only in self defense and only after stones were thrown at them.
Some of the attackers have been indicted by the Military Advocate General's Office.
Honenu, a legal NGO that has provided the Israeli suspects with legal assistance, said in a statement: "From the first moment it was clear that a barbaric mob attacked a group of hikers whose only sin was that they were Jews who went on a Bar Mitzva trip in the Land of Israel. We lament the injustice done to the parents so far, and the fact that immediately upon their discharge from the hospital they had to be questioned at the police station, and rather than receive a commendation, they were made suspects.
The police in their actions personally hurt the brave parents."

Jerusalem Magistrate's Court on Sunday issued a ruling allowing Jewish settlers to perform prayers at al-Aqsa Mosque's gates, claiming that the right of Jewish settlers to pray at the “Temple Mount” gates was no less than the right of the Arabs.
Judge Shmuel Herbst rejected a police request to distance three 14-year-old Jewish girls from al-Aqsa Mosque area who prayed near the holy site’s gates.
The three girls were detained after praying at the al-Aqsa's gates and police requested they be distanced from the area, claiming their prayers and presence with a prayer book at the holy shrine gate area could spark violence.
In his decision, the judge ruled that "it is the right of every person to pray on the streets of cities in Israel, provided this does not violate the rights of others".
Sheikh Ekrema Sabri, head of the Higher Islamic Authority in Occupied Jerusalem and Preacher of al-Aqsa Mosque, said that the Israeli ruling is null and void and totally rejected.
He told Quds Press that al-Aqsa Mosque is a holy site for Muslims only and the court’s decision is irresponsible and illegal.

The so called Temple of Solomon organizations asked Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to allow celebrating Passover rituals inside al-Aqsa Mosque.
The Jewish organizations of the alleged Temple of Solomon have been offering training, sponsored by the Israeli municipality in Occupied Jerusalem, for performing Passover sacrifices for 15 years.
The Passover rituals were previously conducted secretly within closed communities. However, it has recently become a public event with the participation of hundreds of Jews.
These societies aim at pressuring the Israeli government to accelerate the temporal and spatial division of al-Aqsa Mosque as the first step to build the alleged Temple of Solomon.

Groups of Jewish extremist settlers on Wednesday evening broke into a site of an evacuated settlement south of Jenin city and defiled an old mosque where they performed Talmudic rituals.

Israeli colonial settlers stormed, on Wednesday morning, the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque, while Israeli police arrested one of its guards from his workplace, inside the mosque.
Jerusalemite sources reported, according to Al Ray, that 24 settlers guarded by security forces stormed Al-Aqsa in the early morning hours, via The Moroccan Gate, and attempted to perform Talmudic rituals.
They said that Israeli police arrested the guard, Ehab Abu Ghazaleh, from his workplace inside the mosque, and took him to an investigation center in Jerusalem, after he refused to stay away from the settlers in the mosque.Al-Aqsa Mosque is exposed, on a daily basis, to such activities, at which the settlers perform Talmudic rituals and desecrate the sanctity of the mosque, under guard of Israeli forces.
Israel seeks, through these actions, to divide the temporal and spatial division of the mosque, and to further Judaize the occupied city of Jerusalem.
It is the third holiest site in Islam and also venerated as Judaism’s most holy place, alleged to be the original site of Solomon’s Temple.
Disputes surrounding visitation to the site have historically flared tensions in the occupied Palestinian territory.
In 2003, the Israeli government unilaterally decided — despite the objections of the Islamic Endowments Department — to allow non-Muslim visitors into the complex.
Since then, under increasingly right-wing Israeli governments, extremist Jewish settlers have been allowed into the site in ever greater numbers — usually protected by Israeli security forces — while Palestinian access to the site has become increasingly restricted.
The number of Israeli settlers storming the holy site has risen since US president Donald Trump’s declaration of occupied Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. Members of the so-called “Temple Mount” movement are publicly calling its followers to participate in wide scale mass raids on the holy site.
