Hundreds of settlers stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied Jerusalem today in successive groups, performing provocative tours in its courtyards under the protection of Israeli occupation forces, who imposed strict military measures at the gates of Al-Aqsa and around the Old City, preventing visitors and worshippers from entering the mosque. The Palestinian Ministry of Awqaf confirmed in a statement that this storming constitutes a flagrant violation of the sanctity of Islamic holy sites and a serious encroachment on the historical and legal status quo at Al-Aqsa Mosque. In a separate context, Israeli occupation forces arrested at least 24 Palestinians during extensive raid and search operations that targeted various areas in the West Bank, focusing on the cities of Jenin, Tulkarm, and Bethlehem.
