Tel Aviv (UNA/WAFA) – Israeli sources said that the occupation army is preparing to implement strict military measures in the West Bank, including occupied Jerusalem, coinciding with the start of the holy month of Ramadan..
Hebrew sources reported a widespread and unprecedented state of alert in Jerusalem, along with the reinforcement of occupation forces with several additional military units in various areas of the West Bank..
According to sources, thousands of Israeli occupation police officers have been deployed throughout Jerusalem, particularly at the gates of the Old City, on main roads, and around the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound. The sources also indicated that the time allotted for settler incursions into the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound has been extended by an additional hour, bringing the total to five hours daily with the start of Ramadan..
In the same context, the occupation authorities continue to impose strict restrictions on the entry of worshippers from the West Bank to Jerusalem, recommending limiting the number of those allowed to enter and imposing age restrictions, especially on Fridays, amid expectations that tens of thousands of worshippers will arrive at Al-Aqsa Mosque during the holy month..
The measures include carrying out arrests under the pretext of “incitement”, monitoring social media networks, operating an operations room to monitor calls that allegedly incite violence or organize unusual gatherings, and continuing to pursue workers and prevent them from reaching their workplaces by closing a number of roads north of occupied Jerusalem, especially in the vicinity of the apartheid wall.
