Local sources said that the soldiers broke into the holy site in their uniforms at around 0900 am Monday, adding that the leader of the extremist Temple Mount Trustees Gershon Salomon was also allowed into the Aqsa plazas.

The Israeli occupation authorities allow settlers and soldiers to desecrate the holy site at will while banning around 150 Jerusalemite and Palestinian figures from entering it including clergymen, politicians, Aqsa guards, and citizens living near it.
