For the 12th day: The occupation continues to close Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, preventing access to them.

For the 12th consecutive day, the Israeli occupation authorities continue to close the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, preventing access to them.

Local sources reported that the occupation forces have completely closed Al-Aqsa Mosque to worshippers, with only its guards and employees of the Jerusalem Islamic Waqf Department permitted to enter. The same strict Israeli restrictions apply to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, which is completely closed to Christians, while entry to the Old City is restricted to its residents.

Since the 13th of this month, the occupation army has intensified its aggression against the West Bank, including Jerusalem, closing major and minor roads in various governorates. Its aggression against the Jenin, Tulkarm, and Nur Shams refugee camps has continued since January 21, displacing more than 40,000 people, demolishing hundreds of homes, destroying infrastructure, killing dozens, and wounding others.

The sources indicated that the occupation's strict measures prevented hundreds of thousands of worshippers from reaching the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque and performing prayers there.

The occupation police also imposed restrictions on Palestinian entry into the Old City, allowing only residents to enter through military checkpoints set up at its entrances. These restrictions resulted in the closure of shops.

The occupation's restrictions in Jerusalem included closing the entrances to neighborhoods, such as the town of At-Tur, with concrete blocks, and setting up police checkpoints at the entrances to other neighborhoods. The occupation also closed roads linking Jerusalem and Ramallah, including the Jaba' checkpoint to the north.

The sources noted that the occupation's measures in Jerusalem also included night raids in Jabal al-Mukaber, Issawiya, At-Tur, Wadi al-Joz, and Kafr Aqab, as well as the use of tear gas and sound bombs inside residential buildings.

She continued: The percentage of shelters in East Jerusalem neighborhoods does not exceed 10%, while the city's population is 400,000.

She added, "All the new shelters opened by the occupation municipality during the current escalation are located in West Jerusalem, and the 400,000 residents of East Jerusalem remain largely unprotected."
