Ramadan started in Jerusalem under a heavy Israeli military deployment, with more than 3,000 police officers controlling access to the Al‑Aqsa Mosque. The operation concentrated on entry points, restricting the passage of Palestinian worshippers and imposing new permit requirements for those coming from the West Bank. The heightened military presence has fueled tension in the occupied territories, creating a climate of insecurity that endangers thousands of people gathering to pray at one of Islam’s holiest sites.
