"The announcement of a ceasefire between the United States and Iran has led to the reopening of holy sites to worshippers in occupied East Jerusalem and the removal of a number of movement barriers in the occupied West Bank."
"More than 100,000 Muslim worshippers streamed into the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound for the first Friday prayers since before the war started on February 28."
"Even the April 9 reopening of Al-Aqsa after 40 days of closure was tempered by growing settler incursions, including on April 7 and April 12, when Israel's National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir stormed the compound under police protection."
"Despite the Iran ceasefire, Israeli air attacks and artillery fire continued across the Gaza Strip throughout the week."
