Shehab Wire reported that 1,678 settlers stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque during Sunday and Monday (September 20–21), amid a broader escalation involving Israeli occupation forces, leadership, and police. The incursions coincided with the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur.
The storming represents what the agency described as efforts to impose new facts on the ground inside the mosque compound. The escalation involved multiple state and non-state actors within the occupation apparatus.
