Summary

Between September 27-30, 2026, Israeli settlers entered the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in Jerusalem on multiple occasions during the Jewish holiday of Sukkot, performing religious rituals under Israeli police protection. Reported numbers of settlers vary across accounts, ranging from dozens to over 1,700 per incident. The settlers performed Talmudic rituals and prayers in the mosque's courtyards, particularly near the Cotton Merchants' Gate and Bab Hutta. According to reports, settlers assaulted Palestinians in the Damascus Gate area and other locations in Jerusalem's Old City, with videos of attacks posted on social media. Israeli authorities imposed restrictions on Palestinian movement and entry to the mosque and Old City during the period. The Jerusalem Governorate reported approximately 40,000 settler incursions into the mosque during 2026 and around 800 orders banning Jerusalemites from the site. Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir accompanied settlers during at least one incursion. Saudi Arabia and the UAE issued statements condemning the incidents as violations of the mosque's status quo and provocative escalations.
