"Israeli settlers have made an unprecedented seven attempts to smuggle animal sacrifices into the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound during this year's Jewish Passover festival, marking the highest number of such incidents documented since the beginning of the Israeli occupation in 1967."
"The provocations took place while Israeli authorities kept the 144-dunum compound sealed off for 40 consecutive days, citing a state of emergency and security measures linked to the US-Israel war on Iran."
"Several of the attempts have been captured on video, with footage showing smiling activists carrying baby goats in their arms or leading them through the stone alleys of the Old City, before being intercepted and questioned by armed Israeli police."
During this year's Jewish Passover festival, Israeli settlers attempted to smuggle animal sacrifices into the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound seven times, the highest number since 1967. The Palestinian Authority's Jerusalem Governorate reported these incidents amid a prolonged closure of the site due to security measures. The mosque reopened after 40 days, allowing worshippers to return. Far-right groups have pushed for biblical sacrifices at the site, with some attempts captured on video, showing activists with goats being stopped by Israeli police.
