Dozens of colonists performed Talmudic rituals Monday morning at several gates of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque in the city of Jerusalem, under heavy protection from Israeli occupation forces.

Palestinian news agency (WAFA) reported that these rituals were carried out in conjunction with what is known as the Festival of Weeks (Shavuot), as part of ongoing Judaization policies and daily violations of Islamic holy sites.

Since the start of the comprehensive Israeli aggression against Palestinians in Gaza Strip and the West Bank in October 2023, more than 68,000 colonists have stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque under the protection of occupation forces, amid tightened entry procedures to the mosque and the entrances to the Old City.
