A group of Israeli settlers, among them radical Rabbi Yehuda Glick, have stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque, barging through Al-Magharebah Gate. Local media quoted witnesses as saying the group was under the escort of special units of Israeli policemen. The sources said that the Israeli policemen, stationed at the gates of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, continued to restrict the use of main entrance and retained two Palestinians' ID cards. Meanwhile, Al-Aqsa had witnessed unrest and clashes caused by Israeli policemen and Israeli settlers. The Palestinians have urged for a diplomatic move to end the Israeli attacks on Al-Aqsa
