In September 2024, Jerusalem witnessed a surge in violence with multiple executions, extensive settler incursions into Al-Aqsa Mosque, and ongoing demolitions of Palestinian homes, highlighting the escalating tensions in the region.


Escalating Tensions in Jerusalem: A September Overview

September 2024 has marked another month of escalating tensions in the Jerusalem Governorate, as Israeli forces have intensified their violations against the Palestinian population. Reports indicate that three individuals, including a child, were executed, while over 118 Jerusalemites were arrested, including minors and women. The situation continues to deteriorate as the Israeli occupation strengthens its grip on the city, leading to widespread fear and unrest among the residents.

Al-Aqsa Mosque Under Siege

The Al-Aqsa Mosque has been a focal point of conflict, with a staggering 4,511 settlers storming its courtyards throughout September. These incursions, coinciding with the Jewish holiday season, have seen settlers perform rituals and prayers within the mosque, further inflaming tensions. Activists from extremist groups have openly celebrated these actions, framing them as part of a broader struggle. The Israeli military presence at the mosque has also been noted, with soldiers entering in full uniform, leading to concerns over safety and respect for the sacred site.

Ongoing Demolitions and Educational Attacks

The demolition of Palestinian homes and facilities has continued unabated, with 33 documented demolitions in September alone. This includes forced self-demolitions and the destruction of commercial properties in the Shuafat camp. Additionally, the Israeli authorities have renewed their efforts to impose a distorted Palestinian curriculum in schools, threatening educators who resist these changes. The situation remains dire for many families facing eviction and displacement, as the Israeli government pushes forward with its plans to alter the demographic and cultural landscape of Jerusalem.
