Netanyahu at Western Wall amid settler gatherings
The city of Jerusalem experienced a widespread security escalation on the eve of the Jewish Yom Kippur holiday. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stormed the Al-Buraq Wall area in the Old City to participate in the final Slichot prayers before the holiday, amid a heavy deployment of occupation forces and a large gathering of settlers. The occupation forces closed parts of the city around the wall and the roads leading to it, and set up military checkpoints to protect the settlers. Meanwhile, settler groups called for conducting additional rituals near the Al-Aqsa Mosque, heightening fears of new facts on the ground and potential changes to the religious and political landscape. Surrounding areas witnessed incursions and arrests, and occupation forces enforced strict measures at Jerusalem’s entrances, arresting four youths from Kafr Aqab and detaining others, amid escalating tensions as the Jewish holiday season begins.
