The Islamic Waqf (Endowments) Department in Jerusalem has announced that 2022 witnessed the highest number of violations and incursions into Al-Aqsa Mosque with more than 48,000 Israeli settlers storming the Muslim holy site.
In a statement, the body said the violations included turning the mosque into a military barracks for Israeli army soldiers and having extremist Jewish groups perform Jewish prayers, prostrations, public Talmudic rituals, chants, singing and dancing inside the mosque’s courtyards, as well as raising Israeli flags.
