The article accuses the Israeli occupation authorities of imposing a systematic media blackout on the daily settler incursions into the Al-Aqsa Mosque, which coincide with the Jewish holiday season extending from September 12 to early October. The article indicates that the occupation is working to expel worshippers and journalists from the mosque and prevent any filming of the incursions and Talmudic rituals. It mentions that the occupation authorities have issued about 800 expulsion orders from the Al-Aqsa Mosque since the beginning of 2026 as preemptive measures. The article quotes researcher Abdullah Maarouf as saying that the media blackout aims to remove Al-Aqsa from the Arab and Islamic media scene to enable the occupation to implement gradual changes. It also quotes researcher Robyn Abu Shamsieh as saying that the occupation has established a dedicated unit to prevent any leakage of photos or videos from the mosque, and imposes a complete ban on photography. He adds that there are cases of arrests and fines against Palestinians who published content sympathetic to Al-Aqsa. The article warns that the danger of what is happening is not limited to the incursions, but also includes attempts to reduce the role of the Jordanian Waqf and excavation works on the western and southern sides of the mosque.
