Settlers storm Al-Aqsa on Sukkot as Egypt condemns the incursions

Israeli settlers have stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound on Sukkot's sixth day, as Egypt condemned the incursions as a violation of the site's legal status.

• Hundreds of Israeli settlers stormed the Al-Aqsa compound under Israeli police protection, performing Talmudic rituals and prayers inside its courtyards.
• Egypt condemned the storming, saying it violates the mosque's historical and legal status and threatens stability.
• Settlers also stormed Joseph's Tomb in Nablus in the West Bank, while Israeli forces carried out strikes on the Gaza Strip.
• A total of 2,474 settlers stormed the compound from Bab al-Magharba the previous day.
• Sheikh Ikrima Sabri, Al-Aqsa's imam, warned against Israeli attempts to impose control over the mosque and Judaize Jerusalem, urging Arab leaders to act.
• Fatah leader Raafat Alyan said the incursions are part of a long-term project to 'Judaize' Jerusalem.
• Settlers and Temple Mount groups held Torah study circles and performed rituals on the Al-Aqsa platforms (masatib), a step analysts called the most dangerous yet.
• National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir declared Israeli sovereignty over the mosque compound.
