Day 361 Jerusalem during “Al-Aqsa Flood” Operation
On the 361st day of "Al-Aqsa Flood Operation", Iran launched dozens of missiles towards the entire Palestinian territories, where dozens of interceptor missiles were seen and the sounds of explosions were heard in the sky of the city of Jerusalem, while the occupation police announced the imposition of procedures for entering Al-Aqsa Mosque under the pretext of "the security situation/state of emergency during the war", and the settlers' storming of the Al-Aqsa Mosque continued, and the forces continued to storm the towns and neighborhoods of the city of Jerusalem.
Missiles in the sky of Jerusalem
Dozens of missiles were spotted in the sky of the city of Jerusalem, and were seen from all the towns, neighborhoods and alleys in the city, and the sounds of explosions were heard, and the missiles continued to be seen for about half an hour, during which the sirens sounded in the city, and were activated several times.
The voices of the Jerusalemites rose as soon as the missiles were seen in the sky of the city, and they also launched firecrackers during that.
The Wadi Hilweh Information Center in Jerusalem explained that this is the second time that Iranian missiles have reached the skies of Jerusalem. In a statement, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard said that the missiles were launched in response to the assassination of the head of the political bureau of Hamas, Ismail Haniyeh, in Iran, and the Secretary-General of Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah, and the deputy and commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, Abbas Nilforoushan, in Beirut. The first time that missiles reached the skies of Jerusalem was last April in response to the targeting of the Iranian consulate in Syria.
Checkpoints, arrests and detentions
Following the rocket fire, the police set up their checkpoints in the city streets, and stopped a number of young men in the streets of Jerusalem and neighborhoods, and assaulted some of them by beating them.
Al-Aqsa Mosque…Restrictions "under the pretext of the security situation"
In the afternoon hours, the occupation police took restrictive measures in Al-Aqsa under the pretext of implementing "instructions of the Home Front / state of emergency in war / security situations", and the police closed "Lions, King Faisal, Al-Ghawanmeh, Al-Hadid, and Al-Qattaneen gates", while leaving the gates of "Hutta, Al-Majles, and Al-Silsileh" open for worshipers to enter.
The police also announced that the number of worshipers will be limited, and will not exceed 600 worshipers, and that prayers will only be allowed in covered mosques, and that prayers will not be allowed in the courtyards of Al-Aqsa.
The duration of these measures has not been specified, but rather according to the instructions and updates of the "Home Front".
During the “Maghreb and Ishaa” prayers, the forces prevented worshipers from entering Al-Aqsa, and allowed a small number of them to enter the mosque, and the worshipers performed prayers on the thresholds of Al-Aqsa and at the closest point they were able to reach.
Settlers' raids on Al-Aqsa
209 extremists stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque through the Dung Gate, whose keys have been controlled by the occupation authorities since the occupation of Jerusalem. The settlers performed their collective and public prayers in Al-Aqsa.
Demolition notices
Municipality crews, accompanied by police, stormed the Al-Bustan neighborhood in the town of Silwan, and posted demolition decisions and summonses to follow up with the municipality. The entire Al-Bustan neighborhood is threatened with demolition to implement the "King's Garden" plan on the ruins of homes.
In the early morning hours, forces stormed the Shu’fat refugee camp and raided a number of homes of freed prisoners "to warn them against doing anything during the Jewish holidays."
