The Ministry of Endowments and Religious Affairs documented 27 incursions into Al-Aqsa Mosque and 51 instances where the call to prayer was prevented at the Ibrahimi Mosque during the past month of July.

The Ministry stated that the extremist Israeli Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir, issued official instructions to the occupation police to allow settlers to sing and dance throughout the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound.

It noted that settlers performed loud songs and Talmudic prayers inside the courtyards of Al-Aqsa, under heavy protection from occupation police, in a blatant violation of the sanctity of the site.

At the Ibrahimi Mosque, the occupation prevented the call to prayer 51 times, and deliberately delayed it by repeatedly delaying the muezzin's entry. The occupation forces also continued their assaults on the mosque.
