Hundreds of Israeli settlers raided Al-Aqsa Mosque this morning and evening. During the developments at the holy site in Jerusalem, an official was also detained.
Human rights sources in Jerusalem reported that 397 people entered Al-Aqsa during the day. The Jerusalem Governorate stated that the settlers performed Talmudic rituals during the raid.
Since 2003, settlers have been entering Al-Aqsa through the Bab al-Maghariba gate in two separate time slots, before and after noon. Today's raid took place within this framework.
At the same time, the Jerusalem Governorate announced that Israeli forces detained Al-Aqsa official Hamza Nebali near the Dome of the Rock. The governorate did not share information about Nebali's fate.
Meanwhile, in the Silwan district south of Jerusalem, it was reported that municipal teams and nature authority officials jointly intervened on land owned by Arabs. Palestinian belongings and vehicles were also confiscated during the intervention.
Khalid al-Zir, a Jerusalemite working on the land, said the area was suddenly raided and attempts were made to seize the land. Al-Zir stated that the Israeli nature authority aims to convert the area into a public facility.
Local sources reported that barbed wire was placed around the land and a gate was installed at the entrance. Subsequently, the area was closed off in favor of the municipality, blocking access.
