The Islamic Waqf Authority in Occupied Jerusalem reported that illegal Jewish settlers held Talmudic marriage rituals Wednesday morning at the Aqsa Mosque, according to the Palestinian Information Center (PIC).
The Israeli police kept watch while dozens of settlers stormed the Muslim holy site to attend the ceremony in Aqsa Mosque’s courtyards under tight security.

While Jewish visitation is permitted to the compound, non-Muslim worship at Al-Aqsa is prohibited according to an agreement signed between Israel and the Jordanian government after Israel’s illegal occupation of East Jerusalem in 1967.
