Jerusalem: 2 martyrs, 5209 settlers, demolitions in August
In August 2026, Jerusalem Governorate experienced an escalation in Israeli violations against Palestinians, resulting in the death of two civilians and injuries to 83 others, in addition to the detention of 114 individuals. A total of 5,209 settlers stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque, with the highest number of incursions recorded on August 13, when 751 settlers entered. Israeli authorities permitted Jewish prayers to be conducted inside the mosque. The occupation forces carried out 40 demolition and land-grabbing operations, while many Palestinians were detained by the occupation forces, and sentences of imprisonment and exile from Al-Aqsa were issued. The month also saw continued settlement activity, with plans submitted for the construction of 1,240 housing units covering an area of 78.721 dunams. This is part of a provocative policy aimed at consolidating control over the occupied city and expanding settlements, alongside a rise in assaults on Palestinian institutions and holy sites.
