75,000 Worshippers Gather at Al-Aqsa for Ramadan's Final Friday Prayers Amid Israeli Restrictions
Around 75,000 Muslim worshippers gathered at Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied Jerusalem for the final Friday prayers of Ramadan.
Despite facing strict Israeli restrictions and reported harassment, Palestinians participated in the prayers at the sacred site.
The number of worshippers this year was notably lower due to increased security measures.
Al-Aqsa Mosque, a significant religious site for Muslims, remains a focal point of tensions, with ongoing restrictions on Palestinian access further intensifying regional grievances.
Hamasâ Al-Quds Brigades fired Quds-3 rockets at Israeli positions near the Nir Am settlement in the Gaza envelope, claiming the strike was retaliation for Minister Ben Gvirâs controversial actions at the Al-Aqsa Mosque. New combat visuals show fighters preparing and launching the rockets from infiltration axes inside Gaza. The militants say the attack targeted Israeli troops before, during, and after the Gideonâs Chariots operation. As Israel pushes deeper into Gaza under Netanyahuâs new control plan, Hamas-aligned groups intensify guerrilla strikes on IDF forces and armored units.

In an unprecedented move, Israeli Minister Itamar Ben Gvir prayed on the Temple Mount during Tisha BâAv, defying long-held protocols that prohibit overt Jewish prayer at the site. His actions sparked strong condemnation from the Palestinian Authority, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia. Over 1,200 Jewish worshippers visited the contested holy site, intensifying tensions. Critics say this violated the status quo agreement. The Temple Mount, home to Al Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock, remains a core flashpoint in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Netanyahu insists policy âhas not changed.â

Hamas has condemned what it calls a âtargeted assassinationâ of five Al Jazeera journalists in Gaza, after an Israeli strike hit a tent for reporters outside Gaza Cityâs al-Shifa Hospital. Among the dead is veteran correspondent Anas al-Sharif, along with journalist Mohammed Qreiqeh, cameramen Ibrahim Zaher and Moamen Aliwa, and assistant photojournalist Mohammed Noufal. Al Jazeera accused Israel of deliberately attacking the press, calling it another blatant assault on press freedom.
The Committee to Protect Journalists expressed outrage, demanding accountability. The Israel Defense Forces confirmed targeting Sharif, alleging he led a Hamas terrorist cell. The killings have sparked global condemnation, with media rights groups warning that attacks on journalists are eroding international protections for the press in conflict zones. Hamas vowed to honor the âmartyrsâ and accused Israel of silencing voices that document its actions in Gaza. The incident further escalates tensions amid the ongoing war.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is facing a major political crisis as far-right leaders within his coalition threaten to quit, demanding harsher action against Hamas. Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and other right-wing figures have voiced distrust in Netanyahuâs Gaza strategy, calling for the complete destruction of Hamas rather than partial measures. Lawmakers like Zvi Sukkot and Yitzhak Kroizer argue Netanyahuâs approach risks forcing negotiations instead of total victory. With pressure mounting and the Gaza war dragging on, Netanyahuâs grip on power grows increasingly fragile.

Israel is furious. Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar has condemned the recent moves by the UK, France, and Canada to recognize a Palestinian state â calling it a âpure prize for terrorâ and a âgift to Hamas.â Speaking at a press conference in Jerusalem, Saar slammed the announcements as âimmoralâ and âpolitically foolish,â warning that these decisions reward the very actors responsible for ongoing violence.
The statement comes amid growing international outrage over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza â but Israel argues that such recognition sends the wrong message and emboldens terrorism. As Septemberâs U.N. General Assembly approaches, global divisions over the Israel-Palestine war are reaching a boiling point.

Israeli authorities have since declared the situation under control, but tensions remain high as the region braces for potential retaliation.

Yemenâs Armed Forces have delivered a bold message to Israel and the world by penetrating Tel Avivâs missile shield with explosive-laden drones that struck three high-value targets â including a sensitive Israeli site in Jaffa, military infrastructure in Ashkelon, and a strategic zone in the Negev Desert.
Brigadier General Yahya Saree confirmed the success of the operations and warned of continued strikes until the siege and genocide in Gaza end. The strikes form part of Yemenâs relentless campaign of solidarity with Palestine, which has also involved firing advanced ballistic and hypersonic missiles. Meanwhile, Yemen has issued a clarion call to Muslims and Arabs worldwide to rise, protest, and break the Gaza blockade. The message is clear â Gazaâs resistance is not alone, and regional escalation is mounting fast. Is a broader conflict in the Middle East now inevitable?

Yemen's Armed Forces have launched a devastating hypersonic missile attack on Israelâs busiest airport â Ben Gurion, near Tel Aviv â marking the third strike in just two days. The missile, dubbed âPalestine-2,â caused widespread panic as sirens wailed and incoming flights were diverted or left circling above the Mediterranean. Israeli reports confirm the airport was shut down temporarily, halting all operations.
Yemenâs spokesman, Yahya Saree, confirmed the missionâs âcomplete success,â warning further strikes will continue as long as Gaza remains under siege. The aerial blockade imposed by Yemen since May has escalated, shifting from drone strikes to high-powered ballistic weaponry. Saree issued a chilling warning to Arab and Muslim nations â if Israel succeeds in Gaza, âyour turn will come.â Yemenâs intensifying operations, rooted in solidarity with Palestine, are now disrupting Israeli airspace and testing regional security in ways unseen before. The message is clear: the war in Gaza wonât stay in Gaza.

The IDF razed buildings in Dar Salah, exploded the Hebron home of an accused Palestinian prisoner, and justified the destruction by citing the lack of permits and alleged Hamas ties. In Qabr Hilweh, children watched their homes reduced to rubble. Families are now left homeless, helpless, and heartbroken.

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas is expected to announce a unilateral declaration of Palestinian statehood at the September UN General Assembly, outlining borders and constitutional principles until a full constitution is passed. France, the UK, and other nations signal possible recognition, with President Macron pledging support. Israelâs National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir has condemned the plan, urging Netanyahu to dismantle the PA. The move could mark a turning point in Palestineâs international recognition strategy, but risks sparking intense political backlash.

Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir has called on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to take âimmediateâ steps to topple the Palestinian Authority (PA). In a fiery statement, Ben Gvir said this was the only suitable response to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbasâs reported plan to unilaterally declare a Palestinian state during the UN General Assembly in September. He labeled Abbas a âterroristâ and the PA a âterror authority,â demanding its dismantling without delay.
His comments follow reports from Al-Arabi Al-Jadeed that Abbas is preparing a bold diplomatic move as several nations prepare to recognize Palestinian statehood during the UN gathering in New York. The push comes amid escalating tensions in the region, as far-right Israeli leaders push for aggressive measures against Palestinian political leadership. Netanyahu has yet to respond publicly, but the call adds pressure on Israelâs cabinet to take a definitive stance ahead of the high-profile international event.
