The storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque by settlers under the protection of the Israeli army is a frequent and alarming occurrence that exacerbates tensions in the region. These incursions involve groups of Israeli settlers entering the mosque compound, often accompanied by military forces that provide security and control, preventing Palestinians from accessing the site. This provocative act not only violates the sanctity of one of Islam's holiest sites but also undermines efforts for peace and stability in Jerusalem. The Israeli army’s involvement in these actions further escalates the situation, leading to clashes, injuries, and an atmosphere of fear and hostility. For Palestinians, the protection of settlers by the army serves as a clear demonstration of the ongoing occupation and the systematic targeting of their religious and cultural heritage.
