Al-Aqsa Mosque Faces Record Passover Animal Intrusions
In a statement, the governorate said that Israeli forces succeeded in two cases in reaching the vicinity of Jerusalem’s Old City with the animals, part of repeated efforts to conduct religious rituals within the mosque compound.
The governorate described these attempts as “a dangerous escalation” and as part of broader efforts to impose new realities at the site, referred to by some as the Temple Mount, by attempting to slaughter animals inside the compound.
Authorities claimed that occupation groups are exploiting the ongoing closure of Al-Aqsa Mosque—Islam’s third holiest site—to intensify incitement campaigns, including videos and content generated with artificial intelligence to mobilize supporters.
The governorate called for immediate action at Palestinian, Arab, and international levels to stop these attempts, protect Islamic holy sites, and reopen the mosque.
Israeli authorities have kept both Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre closed for the 37th consecutive day, citing security concerns. Palestinians, however, argue that the closures are being used to tighten Israeli control over the mosque compound and further restrict Muslim worshippers.
