Israeli settlers hold rituals in Jerusalem's Old City market

Dozens of Israeli settlers performed rituals in the Qattanin Market in Jerusalem's Old City, on the route leading to Al-Aqsa Mosque, after Palestinian shop owners were forced to close their businesses, according to reports from the scene. The incident has drawn criticism from Palestinian observers, who view it as part of growing settler activity in occupied East Jerusalem and around the Al-Aqsa compound, a frequent flashpoint in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Why now: Renewed settler activity near Al-Aqsa Mosque is a recurring flashpoint drawing attention amid ongoing tensions between Israelis and Palestinians.
