Following calls by extremist Israeli groups, illegal Jewish settlers stormed into the Al Aqsa Mosque complex on Tuesday, during which one Israeli stormed into the mosque holding an Israeli flag.Illegal settlers also placed an Israeli flag on the Al Mugharbah Gate area, western the holy mosque, the gate used by Jewish settlers to storm into the mosque under the Israeli forces' protection.Palestinians consider the raising of an Israeli flag inside the mosque as a provocative move.
They also accuse Israel of taking measures to"Judaize" Jerusalem, including the Al Aqsa Mosque, in an attempt to erase its Islamic identity. Since 2003, Israel has allowed illegal settlers into the flashpoint compound on an almost daily basis with the exception of Fridays and Saturdays.Israel occupied East Jerusalem, where Al Aqsa is located, during the 1967 Arab-Israeli War. It annexed the entire city in 1980 in a move never recognised b y the international community.
