Jewish holidays season began Saturday, September 12, according to Shehab Wire. The occupied territories' authorities traditionally treat this period as their most significant and extended season for operations against Al-Aqsa Mosque, marking the calendar's most volatile months for the site.
The season encompasses four major religious observances. It historically coincides with heightened tensions and increased incursions at the mosque compound in occupied East Jerusalem.
