Israeli forces on Monday prevented the person in charge of making the call to prayer at Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied East Jerusalem from completing it.
The move was under the pretext of settler celebrations in the courtyard of the Western Wall (Al-Buraq Square) of the Al-Aqsa Mosque complex, according to the official Palestinian news agency Wafa.
Earlier in the day, dozens of Jewish settlers escorted by Israeli police stormed the compound, said Wafa.
