Misbar’s Analysis

Misbar investigated the circulating video and found the claim to be misleading. 

Misbar's team found that the video was published since September 2022. 

At the time, groups of settlers stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque under the protection of the occupation police.

Israeli Occupation Blocks Access to Al-Aqsa Mosque on First Friday of Ramadan

The circulation of the video came after the Israeli occupation forces prevented thousands of worshippers from accessing Al-Aqsa Mosque on the first Friday of Ramadan, with heavy deployment of Israeli police forces throughout the city and at the gates of Al-Aqsa Mosque.

The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared the government's plan to permit the entry of Muslim worshippers to the Haram al-Sharif during the initial week of Ramadan in similar numbers to previous years. However, they did not specify the exact number. It was contingent upon the government convening weekly sessions to evaluate the security and public safety situation and make decisions based on unfolding events, particularly after the first Friday of Ramadan.

Dire Food Shortages Grip Palestinians in Gaza

In northern regions of Gaza, reports indicate severe food shortages, leading many individuals to refrain from consuming food and water from sunrise to sunset, not due to Ramadan observance but out of necessity. Children are seen desperately scavenging through trash bins in search of even small remnants of food. Meanwhile, further south in Rafah, Palestinians express deep fear over the looming possibility of a violent Israeli ground incursion in the city. Most civilians have already been displaced from the area due to ongoing bombardment, intensifying the sense of terror and uncertainty among residents.
