Illegal Israeli settlers carried out 27 intrusions into the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in October, performing rituals and dances, as reported by the Palestinian Ministry of Endowments. National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir participated in these incursions, marking a Jewish holiday, and has entered the site 13 times since 2022, with 10 visits since the onset of the Gaza conflict. Israeli forces also disrupted call to prayer at the Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron 96 times, amid escalating violence in the West Bank resulting in over 1,065 Palestinian deaths since October. The International Court of Justice has deemed Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territories illegal, urging the evacuation of settlements.
