Dozens of Israeli settlers, escorted by Israeli police, stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in occupied East Jerusalem, conducting provocative tours and rituals. The Islamic Waqf Department, which oversees the complex, has warned that such tours aim to establish a new reality that would divide the landmark. This incursion occurred amidst broader Israeli military actions in the occupied West Bank, where Israeli troops raided multiple towns, arresting 14 individuals and demolishing a home and agricultural structures. The Palestinian Ministry of Health confirmed the death of 17-year-old Jamil Atef Hanani from Israeli gunfire. Meanwhile, the Knesset passed a preliminary reading of a bill, put forward by the far-right party Otzma Yehudit, that would limit the use of loudspeakers in mosques, with violations carrying a fine of up to 50,000 shekels.
