• A settler died from a gunshot wound near the Halmish settlement, and the Israeli army said it arrested the suspected shooter, former prisoner Qadri Samara.

• The Arab League's General Secretariat condemned the storming, rejected any alteration of the historical and legal status quo, and called for international protection of holy sites.
