Israeli Settlers' Provocative Invasion of Al-Aqsa Mosque During Sukkot
Israeli settlers have been storming the Al-Aqsa Mosque complex in occupied East Jerusalem during the weeklong holiday of Sukkot, attempting to perform "Talmudic rituals" despite Jewish law forbidding entry to the sacred site. The incursions have led to age restrictions on Palestinians entering the mosque, the closure of Palestinian stores in the Old City, and tensions with the Christian community. Israeli police have arrested five people suspected of spitting towards Christians or churches, highlighting the growing complaints of hostile gestures against Christians in the area.
