The Jerusalem Governorate said today, Tuesday, that 78 people have been killed and 1,791 citizens have been arrested in the governorate since October 7, 2023.

The ministry explained in its report on the situation in the Jerusalem Governorate during the year of aggression that the frequency of repeated incursions into the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque has increased in an unprecedented manner, as (50,475) settlers stormed the mosque, and these incursions have become part of a broader plan to impose the reality of temporal and spatial division on the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

According to the report, Jerusalem has also witnessed an unprecedented campaign to forcibly displace Palestinians from their historic neighborhoods, such as Sheikh Jarrah and Silwan, as the occupation seeks to empty these areas of their original inhabitants and replace them with settlers.

The demolition and seizure of Palestinian homes has not stopped for a year, but has systematically increased to create a new reality that serves the colonial project, as the governorate witnessed 340 demolition and bulldozing operations.

The occupation imposed a stifling economic siege on the residents of occupied Jerusalem, through restrictions on the movement of goods and people, and arbitrary measures taken by the Israeli occupation authorities against Jerusalemite merchants and investors.
