Israeli authorities issued approximately 800 deportation orders against Palestinians over the past year, Shehab Wire reported. The expulsions have intensified as the Jewish holiday season begins, coinciding with a new escalation phase at Al-Aqsa Mosque that extends beyond increased settler incursions and tightened security measures at its gates.
The deportation campaign now targets Palestinian presence at the holy site itself, according to the report. The timing and scope of the orders reflect a broader pattern of restrictions on Palestinians' access to Jerusalem's most sensitive religious location.
