Israeli occupation forces executed, in November of last year, 3 Palestinian children from Jerusalem: Muhammad Taim and Muhammad Qassem in the town of Al-Jdeira northwest of Jerusalem, in addition to Sami Mshaikha in the town of Kafr Aqab north of Jerusalem, all of whom were 16 years old.
While Mshaikha's family and friends buried him in his final resting place, the occupation authorities continue to hold the bodies of the two children, Taim and Qassem, in their refrigerators.
At Al-Aqsa Mosque, daily violations continued throughout the month, as 4,266 settlers stormed the courtyards, with the highest number of incursions recorded on November 20, coinciding with the beginning of the Hebrew month and the "Sigd" holiday for Ethiopian Jews, who were urged by extremist Temple groups to invade.
The Mughrabi Gate was closed that day after 378 extremists stormed the courtyards.
Among the most dangerous violations documented by Al Jazeera Net was the success of extremists in smuggling a goat into the mosque with the aim of slaughtering it and offering it as a sacrifice at the first of the two qiblas, which, if performed, would allow Jews from all over the world to invade Al-Aqsa after meeting their condition of purity from the impurity of the dead according to their belief.
Although the settlers were unable to slaughter the goat - which they brought in through the Lions' Gate - and did not spill its blood inside the mosque, this violation, which has occurred for the second time in six months, is among the most dangerous goals that Temple groups seek to achieve at Al-Aqsa.
Al Jazeera Net also documented several other violations, including singing and clapping loudly, performing the "epic prostration" ritual (complete prostration, with the body lying flat on the ground with arms, legs, and face spread out, representing the utmost submission), in addition to announcing marriages and performing the Israeli national anthem "Hatikvah" inside the courtyards.
The senior U.S. military representative in Lebanon, Joseph Clearfield, also stormed the Buraq Plaza and performed rituals at the western wall of Al-Aqsa, while Dutch Foreign Minister David van Wil also entered this plaza and prayed at the Buraq Wall alongside rabbis.
Not far from the wall of Al-Aqsa Mosque but from the eastern side, settlers stormed the Islamic Cemetery of Bab al-Rahma and smashed the gravestones of several graves, marking not the first time this cemetery adjacent to the wall of the first qibla has been targeted.
Among the notable incursions into the mosque's courtyards was one carried out by a former officer in the General Security Service "Shabak," along with a number of settlers, as part of a "deep security tour" that also included the alleys of the Old City.
In terms of violations of freedoms, occupation forces arrested more than 61 Jerusalemites throughout the month, including 9 minors and two women, among the detainees were the two MPs forcibly exiled from Jerusalem, Muhammad Abu Tir and Ahmad Attoun, who was released after hours of interrogation.
Occupation courts also issued 7 administrative detention orders against prisoners from the Jerusalem governorate.
As part of the expulsion orders, the occupation intelligence issued 5 expulsion orders during the past month, 4 of which were from Al-Aqsa Mosque, and one expulsion order for 5 days from the city of Jerusalem against the released prisoner Aysar Abu Subaitain.
Demolition and Settlement: During November, 25 residential, agricultural, animal, Bedouin, and recreational facilities were demolished, with 4 of these facilities being demolished by their owners under duress to avoid hefty fines in case the occupation municipality's bulldozers proceeded with the demolition.
Simultaneously with the demolition of Jerusalemite homes and the confiscation of their livelihoods, the occupation authorities continued to approve several settlement projects, especially vertical ones, as the local planning and building committee recommended submitting and approving 5 new plans in "Pisgat Ze'ev, Kiryat Moshe, Bat, Old Qatamon, and Hebron Road" in Jerusalem, adding 1,700 new housing units for Jews in the occupied city.
The occupation authorities also approved a plan to establish 1,300 settlement housing units in the "Gush Etzion" bloc south of Jerusalem, and a new settlement outpost was established within this bloc, in an area referred to by Palestinians as "Esh Gharab" and called "Shidma" by Israelis.
