" / Photo: AP Archive Hundreds of illegal Jewish settlers have stormed the Al Aqsa Mosque complex to mark the 57th anniversary of the Israeli occupation of East Jerusalem. According to the Jordan-run Islamic Endowments Department in Jerusalem, 812 settlers broke into the Al Aqsa Mosque on Wednesday. Eyewitnesses told Anadolu Agency that the settlers tried to perform Talmudic rituals in the mosque's complex. Later in the day, a provocative Israeli flag march is scheduled to pass through occupied East Jerusalem's Damascus Gate under the protection of over 3,000 Israeli police personnel. In a statement, Hamas said the flag march"confirms the occupation approach to Judaize the sanctities," and urged Palestinian"mass mobilisation to confront the Al Aqsa Mosque occupation plans." The march this year coincides with a tense situation across the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem, in addition to a devastating onslaught on Gaza that has been taking place for nearly eight months, and has so far killed more than 36,500 Palestinians. In recent years, the provocative flag march triggered clashes with Palestinians, including the 11-day fighting between Israel and Palestinian groups in Gaza in May 2021. Israel occupied East Jerusalem, where Al Aqsa is located, during the 1967 Arab-Israeli War. It illegally annexed the entire city in 1980 in a move never recognised by the international community.
