"Security Measures in Jerusalem as Muslims Begin Ramadan Amid Tensions"

Israeli police are preparing for the first Friday of Ramadan in Jerusalem amid heightened security concerns due to the ongoing war in Gaza. Officials have warned of increased online incitement and fake news reports, but have stated that there will be no additional restrictions to freedom of worship for Muslims during Ramadan. The Israeli police are increasing their forces to maintain order and reduce the chances of terror, as tensions traditionally peak in Jerusalem during Ramadan. Despite the war in Gaza, Israel is welcoming all faiths and protecting freedom of religion and worship, while also addressing attempts by terror organizations to inflame the region.
