Israeli settlers pray in Al-Aqsa compound

Israeli settlers pray in Al-Aqsa compound More than 150 Israeli settlers have stormed the Al-Aqsa mosque compound under the protection of Israeli police and performed prayers there. Only Muslims are allowed to pray in the compound under the status quo arrangement which has been in place since 1967 in Jerusalem. The Al-Aqsa compound is administered by the Jordanian waqf.  In recent months there have been increasing incidents of Israeli settlers violating the status quo with police protection.
