Fanatical Jewish groups, using the Jewish religious holiday of Yom Kippur—which means "Day of Atonement" and is considered the holiest Jewish holiday—as a pretext, conducted raids on Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, a site located in Palestinian-occupied territory.
Dozens of Jewish visitors stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque in East Jerusalem, treating it almost like a temple. Israeli police accompanied these Jewish worshippers during the raids as they performed religious rituals inside the mosque.
Millions of Israelis who have occupied Palestinian lands increase their raids on Al-Aqsa during religious holidays considered sacred by Jews.
According to the peace treaty signed between Israel and Jordan on October 26, 1994, Al-Aqsa Mosque is under the custodianship of the Jerusalem Islamic Waqf Administration, which is affiliated with Jordan's Ministry of Awqaf, Islamic Affairs, and Holy Places.
However, since 2003, Jewish groups have been entering the holy site accompanied by Israeli police without the permission of the Islamic Waqf, following Israel's unilateral decision.
The Jerusalem Islamic Waqf Administration describes these entries as raids and emphasizes that they violate Muslim sovereignty over the site.
