Hundreds of Israelis entered the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in Jerusalem's Old City and performed religious rituals during the Jewish Sukkot holiday, according to a Jerusalem Islamic Waqf official cited by Anadolu Agency.
The visits took place under the protection of Israeli police, the official said, according to the report.
The Al-Aqsa compound, known to Jews as the Temple Mount, is one of the most sensitive religious sites in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and visits by Israelis are frequently a point of contention between Israeli authorities and the Palestinian Islamic Waqf, which administers the site.
Anadolu Agency's report did not specify the exact number of visitors or whether any incidents were reported during the holiday period.
