The Zionist Knesset Deputy Speaker Moshe Feiglin and Zionist settlers forced their way on Sunday into Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in occupied East Jerusalem amid high tensions in the holy site.

"Feiglin and nine Jewish settlers stormed the complex amid angry shouts from Muslim worshippers," Sheikh Omar al-Qiswani, the Palestinian director of the Al-Aqsa complex, told media outlets.

According to al-Qiswani, the occupation police imposed restrictions on the access of Palestinian worshippers,  banning men under 40 from entering the holy site.

Tensions remain high in Jerusalem after Zionist forces on Thursday killed a young Palestinian man in a raid on his East Jerusalem home.

Zionist entity occupied East Jerusalem during the 1967 Middle East War. It later annexed the holy city in 1980, claiming it as the capital of the self-proclaimed Jewish 'state' – a move never recognized by the international community.
