Hundreds of settlers, led by Israeli Minister of Police Itamar Ben Gvir, stormed al-Aqsa Mosque this morning, with heavy protection from Israeli occupation forces.

A settler was spotted blowing a horn on the eastern side of al-Aqsa Mosque, just a few meters from Bab al-Rahma, while Israeli forces stood by and closely monitored the scene.

During the incursion, Israeli forces obstructed the entry of Palestinian worshippers into the compound, deploying a heavy presence at its gates to facilitate the settlers' activities.

It is worth noting that the Palestinian Authority’s Commission for Detainees and Ex-Detainees and the Palestinian Prisoner’s Club have lately announced in a joint report that the number of arrests in the West Bank and occupied al-Quds has risen to over 11,300 Palestinians since October 7, 2023.
