Israeli occupation forces arrested seven Palestinians from separate areas in the occupied West Bank Thursday, while settlers stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
The occupation forces arrested four Palestinians, including two freed prisoners, from Hebron, after raiding, searching, and tampering with their homes, Palestinian News Agency (WAFA) reported.
Another young man from the town of Maythaloun, south Jenin, was arrested after the occupation stormed the town and raided his family's home.
The Israeli occupation forces also arrested two young men from the village of Urif, south Nablus, after raiding and searching the homes of their families.
Meanwhile, settlers stormed the courtyards of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, under the strict protection of the Israeli occupation police.
Eyewitnesses told WAFA that dozens of settlers stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque from Al-Mughrabi Gate in separate groups, carried out provocative tours in its courtyards, and performed Talmudic rituals on the eastern side of it.
At the same time, the occupation forces tightened their procedures on worshipers arriving at Al-Aqsa.
Settlers carry out provocative incursions into Al-Aqsa Mosque, in an attempt to impose a fait accompli and control it.
Old Jerusalem and its gates are witnessing strict military measures represented by inspection of Jerusalemites and worshipers in Al-Aqsa, in addition to provocations against young men.
