Right-wing Israelis storm Al-Aqsa as Palestinian worshippers barred from entry

More than 2,300 right-wing Israelis entered the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in Jerusalem while Israeli police barred Palestinian worshippers from accessing the site. The incident drew sharp condemnation from Palestinian authorities and Muslim organisations. Al-Aqsa is one of Islam's holiest sites and has long been a flashpoint in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
