The day of the record Al-Aqsa incursion

The day was dominated by a massive settler incursion into Al-Aqsa Mosque on the 'Temple Destruction' anniversary. Over 3,200 settlers, led by Minister Ben-Gvir, stormed the compound under police protection, performing 'prostration' and raising Israeli flags, while Muslim worshippers were blocked. This was the largest incursion in months, described as the 'fiercest' yet, and drew condemnation from Hamas and the Waqf. In the West Bank, two Palestinians were killed by settlers near Beit Furik, and a stabbing operation injured an Israeli settler. Gaza saw continued Israeli strikes, with six martyrs reported in 24 hours, and a Moroccan military delegation entered the Strip to prepare for an international force. Regionally, Trump conditioned a nuclear deal with Saudi Arabia on normalization with Israel, while US-Iran hostilities escalated with strikes on bases in Jordan and Kuwait. By evening, Israeli opposition turned on Netanyahu over the Saudi deal, and Hamas's al-Hayya urged mediators to enforce the ceasefire.
