Occupied Jerusalem — Israeli occupation authorities continue to close the Blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque/Al-Haram Al-Sharif for the 25th consecutive day, banning prayers under the pretext of security conditions related to the ongoing regional war. The city is witnessing stringent military measures and the total isolation of the Old City from its surroundings.

The closure is accompanied by a massive deployment of occupation forces and the establishment of military checkpoints, preventing Palestinians—except for local residents—from reaching the Old City. This has forced many to perform prayers in the streets amidst economic paralysis and the disruption of daily life and education.
Home Demolitions and Notices
In a separate development, occupation authorities issued notices for the demolition of 7 inhabited houses in Qalandia village, north of occupied Jerusalem. Residents were given 21 days to evacuate.
The Pretext: Authorities claim the homes were built without permits, despite being standing for decades.
Hebron: Occupation bulldozers demolished a house under construction in the area west of Beit Awwa, south of Hebron, according to the Al-Baydar human rights organization.
Raids and Arrests
Simultaneously, occupation forces launched a large-scale campaign of raids and incursions across various areas of the occupied West Bank, resulting in the arrest of 25 Palestinians.
