9100 settlers stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque during the Jewish holidays season
Yesterday, Thursday, the longest Jewish holiday season of the year ended, which began at the beginning of October with the "Jewish New Year" and ended with the "Joy of the Torah" holiday.
The Wadi Hilweh Information Center in Jerusalem explained that 9,100 settlers stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque from the beginning of October until the twenty-fourth of it.
The center added that the incursions were carried out through the Dung Gate - whose keys have been controlled by the occupation authorities since the occupation of Jerusalem - on a daily basis, except for Fridays and Saturdays of each week, during two incursions periods "morning 7:00-11:30 / afternoon 1:30-2:45", and the number of settlers storming Al-Aqsa increases during the Jewish holidays.
The Information Center explained that during the Jewish holidays this year, the raids were extensive in numbers and they were as follows:
• 1050 settlers "New Year" on the 2nd and 3rd of October
• 334 settlers "Yom Kippur" on the 10th of October
• 5977 settlers "Sukkot" from the 17th to the 23rd of October
• 334 settlers "Joy of the Torah" on the 24th of October
The total number of settlers who stormed Al-Aqsa was 7695 settlers during the holidays.
The Information Center explained that several violations were recorded during the settlers' storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque, the most prominent of which were:
• Daily collective and public prayers in addition to the prayers for each holiday and occasion in Al-Aqsa.
• Allocating the eastern area of Al-Aqsa Mosque for collective prayers, speeches and explanations about the "alleged temple", in addition to collective prayers in the corridors and courtyards of Al-Aqsa, and clapping and singing in it.
• Blowing the trumpet several times.
• Raising the Israeli flag, and wearing clothes that carried pictures of the flag or the alleged temple.
• Offering plant offerings "citron, myrtle, willow, and palm frond buds"
• Wide participation of rabbis and officials from the alleged temple groups.
The most serious violation recorded in Al-Aqsa during the month of October was on the fourth of the month before the Friday afternoon call to prayer as two settlers, wearing religious clothing stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque through Al-Qattaneen Gate - one of the gates of Al-Aqsa located on its western side – and walked towards the square between the Al-Qibli and Al-Marwani prayer halls, on the southern side of Al-Aqsa. During their walk, they prayed, then blew the trumpet and prostrated themselves on the ground.
