On the 167th day of "Al-Aqsa Flood Operation", dozens of settlers stormed the mosque "on the day of the preparatory fast for Purim", while tens of thousands of worshipers flocked to the mosque on the 11th day of Ramadan.
Al-Aqsa Mosque…Continual incursions…Prayers and I’tikaf
211 settlers carried out their incursions into Al-Aqsa, during the morning incursions period, on the day of the preparatory fast for the Purim holiday, and the settlers led the prayers during the incursion, which was guarded by the Israeli occupation forces, knowing that the incursions were carried out through the Dung Gate, the keys to which have been controlled by the occupation authorities since the occupation of Jerusalem.
Tens of thousands flocked to Al-Aqsa on the 11th day of Ramadan, from the Dawn prayer until Ishaa and Taraweeh, and dozens of young men did I’tikaf at Al-Aqsa, and dozens of buses from all the cities and villages of the Palestinian 1948 lands traveled to Al-Aqsa.
The Islamic Endowments Department said that 50,000 worshipers performed the Ishaa and Taraweeh prayers in the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
The Israeli forces continued to be present and stationed at all the gates of al-Aqsa and the roads leading to it, and the forces stopped the young men and searched them and checked their identities.
In the evening hours, Firas Al-Jabrini, a lawyer for the Wadi Hilweh Information Center in Jerusalem, explained that the forces arrested the young man Mo’men al-Abbasi after his arrest at Lions Gate, and the boy Bilal al-Abbasi after his arrest from al-Silsileh Gate.
Raids
The raids into the towns and neighborhoods in Jerusalem continued, and in the afternoon hours, a force stormed the homes of the Abu Sneineh family in the Ein al-Lozeh neighborhood in Silwan.
Meanwhile, the police issued "violations" to dozens of vehicles in the Lions Gate area.
Gaza patients...
The Israeli Supreme Court issued a decree postponing the deportation of the cancer patients and their companions to the Gaza Strip for 30 days until a response is received from the police and the authorities demanding their deportation.
Israeli media said that it was decided to deport 20 Palestinian children from Gaza who are cance patients, and are receiving treatment in Jerusalem and Israel, at the "Augusta Victoria and Tel Hashomer" hospitals.
The "Doctors for Human Rights" organization presented a petition to the Supreme Court not to deport the patients receiving treatment.
Confrontations in the camp
Before midnight, violent confrontations broke out at the Shu’fat refugee camp checkpoint in Jerusalem.
