Dozens of Israeli settlers stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque on Monday under the protection of Israeli occupation forces, under the pretext of Jewish holidays.

During the raid, settlers performed Talmudic rituals and roamed Al-Aqsa's courtyards while receiving presentations on the alleged "Temple Mount."

Meanwhile, Israeli occupation forces imposed severe restrictions on Palestinian worshipers, inspecting their IDs at the gates of Al-Quds, and preventing many of them from entering the mosque. 

Furthermore, reports indicate that settler groups are mobilizing for a massive raid into Al-Aqsa Mosque on Tuesday, with intentions to raise the Israeli flag.

It is worth noting that Al-Aqsa is revered as one of the holiest sites for Muslims worldwide. Conversely, Jews refer to the area as the "Temple Mount." However, Jews, as per past agreements, have limited access to the compound. "Israel" continuously violates this, with settlers storming Al-Aqsa under the protection of Israeli occupation forces, provoking Muslim worshippers.

IOF raid West Bank cities and villages 

Concurrently, the Israeli occupation forces initiated a series of raids in various regions of the occupied West Bank.

IOF, supported by military vehicles and a bulldozer, conducted a raid on the town of Azzoun, east of Qalqilya, in the northern West Bank.

Additionally, IOF targeted several homes belonging to martyrs and detainees, apprehending numerous individuals and transferring them to an Israeli military camp near the town for field interrogation.

The IOF also destroyed a memorial for one of the martyrs and demolished the house of Palestinian detainees Tha'er and Ahmed Badwan. At the same time, Israeli soldiers stationed themselves at the entrance of Omar Al-Qassem Hospital in the center of Azzoun village.

In Nablus, the Palestinian Red Crescent announced the injury of a Palestinian youth by Israeli occupation gunfire, in addition to recording cases of gas inhalation during confrontations between Palestinian youth and IOF troops raiding the village of Tell.

The Palestinian Media Center reported that "settler militias launched an attack on the outskirts of Jalud town, located southeast of Nablus."

The center added that the settlers set fire to a vehicle and vandalized a Palestinian home. Settlers also attacked Palestinian properties in the village of Duma, south of Nablus.

Additionally, the IOF raided the village of al-Mughayyir, northeast of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank, and al-Omari Mosque in the city of al-Bireh, where they detained a Palestinian youth and brutally assaulted him.
