On Sunday, Israeli police observed as approximately 1,500 Jewish settlers entered Jerusalem's Al-Aqsa Mosque courtyard during the Jewish "Feast of Tabernacles," according to the Jerusalem Governorate. The entrance was made through the Mughrabi Gate, with the settlers dividing into groups. The police subsequently closed the gate following the incursions.
Inside the mosque, the settlers engaged in prayer and Talmudic rituals, particularly near the Cotton Merchants' Gate, and brought in plant offerings. Additionally, some prayed outside Bab Hutta, another entrance to Al-Aqsa. Israeli forces maintained strict restrictions around the mosque and across Jerusalem's Old City. Between January and the end of August, the governorate recorded around 40,661 Jewish settler incursions into the mosque.
