Jewish settlers, protected by Israeli forces, stormed on Saturday Bab al Amoud - one of the most famous gates of the Old City of Jerusalem - and performed provocative Talmudic dances.

Late Friday, Israel announced putting into effect tight security measures. 

The measure coincided with the closure of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip under the pretext of celebrating Jewish feasts.

Israeli settlers break into Al Aqsa Mosque on almost a daily basis as part of attempts to Judaize the holy city.
