Jerusalem Governorate

The Israeli army launched a large-scale operation in the Qalandiya refugee camp in East Jerusalem, involving military vehicles, home raids, and forced removals of residents. Soldiers prevented dawn prayers in the camp's mosques, and one family was ordered to evacuate their home.

Israeli settlers attacked the Armenian Church in occupied East Jerusalem’s Old City on Sunday evening, throwing stones and spitting at its entrance. The incident was reported by Wafa news agency, citing the Jerusalem Governorate.

Approximately 1,300 Israeli settlers, accompanied by Israeli forces, stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound on Tisha B'Av, according to the Jerusalem Governorate. Israeli forces restricted Palestinian access to the mosque and its surroundings.

The Jerusalem Governorate condemned an Israeli plan to establish the largest settlement in East Jerusalem's Umm Lison neighborhood, involving 450 housing units for nearly 2,000 settlers. The Governorate described the project as part of a broader colonial system targeting Palestinian geography to restrict urban expansion and surround neighborhoods with settlement blocs.

Israeli settlers injured five Palestinians in two separate attacks in the occupied West Bank. In one incident, a family near Beitillu was assaulted, resulting in a broken arm and stolen phones. In another, near al-Khan al-Ahmar, settlers on a motorbike rammed villagers, used pepper spray, and attempted to steal sheep before Israeli forces detained four Palestinians who resisted.

The Jerusalem governorate warned against the Israeli security cabinet's approval of 13 new settlements in the occupied West Bank, stating it would further isolate Jerusalem and reflect a policy of accelerating land seizure. The governorate accused Israel of using Palestinian land and lives as part of political competition during election periods, citing a recent demolition of a Palestinian family's home in a village south of Hebron.

Israeli settlers stormed the Al-Aqsa mosque courtyard in occupied East Jerusalem under Israeli police protection, according to Wafa. The Jerusalem Governorate reported dozens of settlers conducted provocative tours and rituals within the compound.

A Palestinian youth was injured by Israeli fire during a raid on the Qalandia refugee camp near occupied Jerusalem, with two others detained. Eleven more Palestinians were detained in Nablus, and Israeli forces conducted raids involving home searches, ransacking, and blocking access to the village of Madama.
