About 500 settlers stormed the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque on Wednesday morning, September 30, 2026, on the fifth day of the so-called Jewish "Sukkot" holiday, under heavy protection from Israeli occupation forces. The incursion was led by former extremist Knesset member Moshe Feiglin, who carried plant offerings and performed the "Four Species" rituals accompanied by a group of settlers. The incursions included group dances, songs, and Talmudic rituals in the eastern area of the mosque. In response, occupation forces tightened their measures at the gates of Al-Aqsa and restricted worshippers' entry while facilitating settler incursions. This escalation comes on the fifth day of the holiday, as 1,462 settlers stormed the mosque on Tuesday, the fourth day of the holiday. The article presents the event from a Palestinian perspective, focusing on describing the incursions as an assault on Islamic holy sites.
