The Ministry of Endowments and Religious Affairs documented, in its monthly report on the violations of the occupation and its settlers against places of worship, 22 incursions into the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, and the prevention of the call to prayer in the Ibrahimi Mosque 48 times, during the month of December.

The Awqaf said in its report that the occupation forces and settlers have escalated their attacks on Al-Aqsa Mosque, noting that the extremist Israeli Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir, stormed the mosque on the first day of the Jewish festival of Hanukkah under heavy guard from the occupation forces. This is the seventh storming of the mosque since he assumed office.

She warned of the nature of these attacks, which aim to establish the presence of the colonists and impose a new reality, through the performance of Talmudic rituals such as collective epic prostration, blowing the trumpet, and introducing plant offerings, at a specific time and place.

She pointed out that these incursions are carried out under the supervision and protection of the occupation police, which permanently prevents the guards of Al-Aqsa Mosque affiliated with the Jerusalem Endowments Department from carrying out their work within its courtyards, and restricts the Muslim worshippers, pursuing them and detaining them at the gates of Al-Aqsa.

In a provocative move , extremist colonial groups published a modified image showing the alleged "temple" on the ruins of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, accompanied by the phrase "Building the temple is closer than ever," and called on their followers to storm the mosque extensively.

Regarding the Ibrahimi Mosque, the Ministry of Endowments documented that the occupation forces prevented the call to prayer 48 times, and stormed it, climbed onto its roof, and took some measurements, which constitutes a flagrant violation of the sanctity of Islamic holy sites and an encroachment on endowment property.

The Endowments also documented the occupation authorities carrying out excavations and extending a sewage line in the courtyards of the Ibrahimi Mosque. They also assaulted the director of the Ibrahimi Mosque, Sheikh Mutaz Abu Sneineh, at the military gates leading to the mosque and prevented him from receiving medical treatment. They also attempted to disrupt a Quran recitation event in the mosque.

The Ministry of Endowments and Religious Affairs renewed its warning against the dangerous plans to be implemented towards the Ibrahimi Mosque, which were announced by the Likud Knesset member, who called for controlling the Ibrahimi Mosque and placing it completely under Israeli “sovereignty.”

The report documented the occupation municipality in Jerusalem notifying the demolition of Al-Isra Mosque in Wadi Yasul neighborhood in Silwan town in occupied Jerusalem, and the attack by a group of terrorist settlers on the Bar Al-Walidain Mosque in the village of Marda in Salfit Governorate, and the violation of the sanctity of the Yanun Mosque near the town of Aqraba in Nablus Governorate, desecrating it with their shoes, taking pictures, and performing Talmudic rituals inside it.

The report pointed out that the occupation forces attacked the Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq Mosque in Nour Shams Camp, which led to the destruction of large parts of it and caused severe damage to its facilities. The occupation bulldozers also destroyed the entrance to the Al-Salam Mosque in Tulkarm Camp and closed it with earth mounds.
