SHOTLIST: JERUSALEM (APR. 15, 2025) (ANADOLU – ACCESS ALL) 1. VARIOUS OF ILLEGAL ISRAELI SETTLERS IN COURTYARD OF AL-AQSA MOSQUE COMPLEX UNDER PROTECTION OF ISRAELI POLICEJERUSALEM - APR. 15, 2025: Illegal Israeli settlers forced their way into the flashpoint of Al-Aqsa Mosque complex in occupied East Jerusalem on Tuesday, Apr. 15, to celebrate the Jewish Passover holiday. Local resources said the settlers' incursions were carried out under the protection of the Israeli police, who tightened military measures at the gates of the Old City and Al-Aqsa Mosque. Passover, commemorating the Israelites' exodus from Egypt during the time of the Prophet Moses, is considered one of the most important holidays on the Jewish religious calendar. Since 2003, Israel has allowed illegal settlers into the flashpoint compound on an almost daily basis except for Fridays and Saturdays. Al-Aqsa Mosque is the world's third-holiest site for Muslims. Jews call the area the "Temple Mount," claiming it was the site of two Jewish temples in ancient times. Israel occupied East Jerusalem, where Al-Aqsa is located, during the 1967 Arab-Israeli War. It annexed the entire city in 1980 in a move never recognized by the international community.
