Occupation forces storm Al-Quds University and conduct field investigations with students

Military vehicles belonging to the Israeli occupation army stormed the campus of Al-Quds University in the town of Abu Dis, located southeast of occupied Jerusalem, this Monday morning. Local sources reported that heavily armed soldiers spread throughout the university facilities, causing panic among students and faculty. They stopped a number of students and subjected them to field investigations before the forces withdrew from the area without any arrests being made inside the university campus.

In the context of the ongoing restrictions on Jerusalemites, occupation forces launched an arrest campaign targeting a Palestinian woman at the eastern entrance to the town of Al-Isawiya, where her private vehicle was confiscated and she was taken to an unknown destination. The forces also arrested four young men while they were passing through the Al-Zaim military checkpoint north of the city. This coincided with the tightening of military measures and the establishment of additional checkpoints around the town of Hizma, which significantly obstructed the movement of citizens.

For his part, Ma'rouf Al-Rifai, spokesman for the Jerusalem Governorate, warned of the danger of systematic Israeli escalation inside the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque. He explained in press statements to media sources that the intensification of incursions and allowing the raising of Israeli flags represents an attempt to impose a new temporal and spatial reality, primarily aimed at seizing the powers of the Islamic Endowments and asserting full control over the holy sites.

Al-Aqsa Mosque courtyards witnessed widespread violations yesterday, as hundreds of extremist settlers stormed the mosque from the Mughrabi Gate under tight security protection. Sources reported that the invading groups reached the Dome of the Rock area, raised Israeli flags, and chanted the official anthem, coinciding with the performance of Talmudic rituals and provocative tours throughout the prayer area, reflecting the extent of the Judaization campaign the holy city is subjected to.

Raising Israeli flags in Al-Aqsa and expanding incursions come within the framework of imposing a new reality and undermining the powers of the Islamic Endowments.
