Day 381 Jerusalem during “Al-Aqsa Flood” Operation
On the 381st day of "Al-Aqsa Flood” operation, settlers continued their storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Al-Buraq Wall on the fifth day of the Jewish Sukkot holiday. The closures continued around the Old City and intersections in Silwan, while the police continued to set up checkpoints at the entrances to towns and neighborhoods in Jerusalem.
The Wadi Hilweh Information Center in Jerusalem explained that 1,461 extremists stormed Al-Aqsa during the two incursion periods; 1,135 in the morning and 326 in the afternoon, under the protection of the occupation forces.
The most prominent violations that occurred during the storming of Al-Aqsa were:
• Performing collective and public prayers, prostrating, dancing, clapping and singing loudly in the courtyards of Al-Aqsa, especially in the eastern and western areas.
• Offering plant offerings during the storming of Al-Aqsa, noting that they were offered 3 times today and twice yesterday.
• Restrictions on the entry of Muslims to Al-Aqsa, by preventing young men from entering Al-Aqsa, and imposing restrictions on the entry of the elderly "by stopping them at the gates, checking their IDs, subjecting them to searches, and confiscating the IDs of many of them.”
• Rabbis lead the settler groups storming Al-Aqsa Mosque, and lead them in group prayers in the mosque.
• Group prayers and offerings of plant offerings at the gates of Al-Aqsa Mosque, from the outside.
• Deployment of forces at the gates and roads of Al-Aqsa.
• Group prayers at the Al-Buraq Wall.
The forces also continued to close the roads leading to the Al-Buraq Wall, especially the main intersections and streets in the town of Silwan, and set up police checkpoints in Wadi Hilweh, Wadi Al-Rababeh, and Al-Ein Street, and prevented vehicles from passing through them except for the residents of the above mentioned areas after checking their identity cards and place of residence.
The streets of Silwan and Lions Gate Road witnessed heavy traffic jams.
The forces also stormed the neighborhoods and towns in Jerusalem and set up police checkpoints randomly.
In the afternoon, the forces arrested a young woman after assaulting her at one of the gates of Al-Aqsa Mosque.
