Under the protection of occupation forces, Israeli settlers stormed the courtyards of the al-Aqsa Mosque on Monday in successive groups, with local sources reporting that dozens performed Talmudic rituals inside the compound.

Under heavy police protection, Israeli settlers forced their way into the courtyards of the al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied al-Quds on July 27, with local sources reporting that dozens of settlers entered the holy site in organized groups, conducting provocative tours and performing religious rituals while heavily guarded by Israeli occupation forces.

Palestinian authorities reported that during the first three months of 2025, more than 13,000 Israeli settlers entered the al-Aqsa Mosque compound under armed escort, with these protected incursions happening nearly every day and systematically violating the holy site's sanctity.

In May 2025, the situation escalated when more than 1,500 settlers, including Israeli government ministers and Knesset members, participated in a single mass violation during the controversial "Flag March" event. In June, the al-Aqsa Mosque compound experienced over 25 separate incursions.

Widespread arrests, raids continue

Early on Monday morning, settlers launched an attack on the town of Taybeh, located east of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank, setting fire to two vehicles and spray-painting racist and threatening graffiti on the walls of homes.
