Meanwhile, the court released the two young men, Qassam Attoun and his brother Dajana, yesterday, on the condition of house arrest for 5 days, and paying a cash bail of 1,000 shekels for each of them.
Al-Aqsa raids
159 settlers carried out their raids into Al-Aqsa Mosque, during the morning and afternoon incursion periods, through the Dung Gate, whose keys have been controlled by the occupation authorities since the occupation of Jerusalem, and prayed in Al-Aqsa under police guard.
The alleged Temple groups continued to call on settlers to carry out large and collective raids on Al-Aqsa during the Jewish Sukkot holiday, which begins in two days.
Evacuating 3 homes after the final demolition decision
The families of Majd Ghaith and Jamal Ghaith emptied their homes in the Wadi Yasoul neighborhood in Silwan, in preparation for implementing the demolition decision.

Al-Tamimi explained that the municipality issued the final demolition decision 21 days ago, and gave him several days to implement the decision, otherwise its crews and bulldozers would carry out the demolition process and he would have to pay "demolition fees of 100 thousand shekels."
The young man Abdul Karim explained that the house has been standing for 7 years, and he lives in it with his family of 5, and during the past years a "building violation fine" of 28 thousand shekels was imposed on him.
