Eyewitnesses told Petra’s reporter in Ramallah that the radical settlers, accompanied by Jewish rabbis, carried out the raids from al-Magharebah Gate, under heavy protection of Israeli police.
"The intruders toured the courtyards of the Mosque and performed their Talmudic rituals before they left from Al-Silsila Gate, amid a state of anger inside the compound," the eyewitnesses added.
