500 settlers enter Al-Aqsa as Hill Boys intensify clashes
Approximately 500 settlers stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque on Wednesday under the protection of Israeli police, marking the fifth day of the Jewish festival of Sukkot, amid intense security measures around it and the Old City. These incursions have led to an escalation of violence in the area, with settlers attacking the village of Jalud in northern the West Bank, resulting in injuries to three Israeli security personnel and the burning of Palestinian cars. This comes alongside financial and military support from the Israeli army for illegal settlement outposts. The "Hilltop Youth" movement is among the hardline groups controlling violent settlement activity, seeking to expand the Jewish presence at the expense of Palestinian land through aggressive means, including establishing illegal outposts outside official settlements. This effort is backed by the Israeli government and encouraged by certain settler leaders, representing a dangerous escalation of occupation policies and regional tensions.
