Netanyahu storms the Western Wall and dozens of settlers storm Al-Aqsa

Dozens of settlers stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque on Sunday morning under occupation protection and performed Talmudic rituals coinciding with Yom Kippur, hours after Netanyahu and thousands of settlers stormed the Western Wall. The incursions coincided with calls from Temple groups to intensify them, and Palestinian warnings of imposing new facts.

Dozens of settlers, on Sunday morning, September 20, 2026, stormed the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque under the protection of the Israeli occupation forces, and performed Talmudic rituals and prayers in its courtyards, coinciding with the so-called Jewish "Yom Kippur." These incursions came hours after the storming of the occupation Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and thousands of settlers to the Western Wall, west of Al-Aqsa Mosque, amid the occupation forces tightening their military measures in the Old City and the vicinity of the mosque. Netanyahu published footage of his visit to the tunnels and excavations under Al-Aqsa Mosque, coinciding with the escalation of incursions and the performance of Talmudic rituals around the mosque. These developments coincided with calls by "Temple" groups to their supporters to intensify incursions into Al-Aqsa Mosque and perform religious rituals during the holiday season, amid Palestinian warnings of exploiting these occasions to impose new facts in the mosque and its surroundings. In response, Palestinian calls continue to mobilize and stay in Al-Aqsa Mosque, and confront settler incursions, amid fears of escalating measures aimed at changing the status quo in the mosque. The article adopts an inciting discourse against the occupation and settlers, and uses language loaded with moral value.
