Palestinian, Arab, and Islamic groups are calling for intensified engagement at Al-Aqsa Mosque amid a surge in raids by extremist settler groups during the holiday season, Shehab Wire reported. The calls come as settler organizations have stepped up their incursions and activities inside the mosque compound.
The escalation coincides with religious holidays, prompting regional and international figures to mobilize support for the site, one of Islam's holiest locations and a focal point of Israeli-Palestinian tensions.
