During the Jewish holiday of Sukkot, Israeli forces closed more than 50 Palestinian shops in Jerusalem's Old City along routes to Al-Aqsa Mosque and restricted access for Muslim worshippers, a closure set to remain through October 2. Israeli forces also tightened checkpoints and blocked roads across the West Bank, delaying Palestinian movement and hampering ambulances. National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir joined hundreds of Israelis in a heavily guarded incursion into the Al-Aqsa compound, declaring 'we are the owners of the place,' drawing Palestinian condemnation.
