Dozens of settlers stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied Jerusalem on Monday, touring the mosque’s courtyards for several hours under heavy protection from Israeli security forces.

Israeli forces imposed strict military measures on visitors and worshippers entering Al-Aqsa, thoroughly checking identification cards and restricting the movement of Palestinians around the mosque compound.

Assaults and arrests in the West Bank

Meanwhile, a Palestinian farmer was injured after being assaulted by settlers while harvesting olives north of Ramallah.

Israeli forces also detained at least 13 Palestinians—including siblings and former detainees—during extensive raids across the West Bank, particularly in the cities of Jenin, Bethlehem, and Tulkarm.
