Israeli media reported on Wednesday that the state of high alert in the occupied city of Al-Quds is still at its peak, despite the decision to prevent illegal Israeli settlers from entering Al-Aqsa Mosque.

The Israeli i24NEWS website said the settlers' incursions into Al-Aqsa compound and its vicinity ended on Tuesday without any exceptional incidents, but the state of high alert in the occupied city of Al-Quds is still at its peak, as thousands of Israeli occupation police officers have been deployed since the eve of the "Jewish Passover" holiday, after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's decision to ban settlers from entering the compound during the last ten days of Ramadan. 

According to the news website, despite Netanyahu's decision, there are still Israeli fears of an escalation of the situation due to the possibility of any event occurring at Al-Aqsa compound and its vicinity similar to the ones that were witnessed earlier.

Last week, Israeli occupation forces stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque numerous times and brutally assaulted worshippers stationed there in order to pave the way for illegal settlers to raid the compound to celebrate the "Jewish Passover" holiday.

The site indicated that the impact of what is happening at Al-Aqsa Mosque compound has affected all Israeli occupation security arenas, from the north to the south, where the state of security alert continues.

It highlighted that the Israeli occupation military and police deployed as many personnel as possible, including "border guards" reserve companies and more Iron Dome security systems in fear of escalations on the northern and southern borders of Palestine. 

I24NEWS noted that the Israeli occupation's security services are focused on next week when hundreds of thousands of Palestinians are expected to visit Al-Aqsa Mosque compound at the end of Ramadan to commemorate Al-Quds Day.

In the same context, Yossi Yehoshua, a military affairs analyst at Yedioth Ahronoth, revealed that the Israeli occupation is prepared for cyberattacks ahead of Al-Quds Day, noting that last week, the "Israel National Cyber Directorate" warned Israeli organizations against an increase in cyberattacks attempts. Last week, nearly 100 cyberattacks were recorded.

On its part, the Israeli Channel 12 quoted sources in the Israeli occupation police as saying that the intelligence showed an important fear that the confrontations at Al-Aqsa Mosque compound and its vicinity may slide into several other cities.

On Tuesday, Israeli media reported that the decision to ban illegal Israeli settlers from entering Al-Aqsa Mosque until the end of the holy month of Ramadan was based on the recommendation of the Israeli occupation Security Minister Yoav Gallant and with the unanimous consent of the heads of the security services.

The decision was described by Israeli occupation Police Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir as a "grave mistake", saying it would not mitigate the existing tensions and may only lead to an escalation.
