Israeli forces launched raids on Al-Aqsa Mosque on the second day of the Hebrew new year, marking the start of the annual assault season on the compound, Shehab Wire reported. No images from inside the mosque have been published on Palestinian or Jerusalem media platforms, creating a complete information blackout around the incursions.
The raids coincide with Jewish holiday observances and represent the beginning of what Palestinians describe as the year's longest period of attacks on the mosque compound. No visual documentation of the operation has emerged from the site during the incursions.
