Israeli police evacuate Muslims attempting Eid prayer near Jerusalem's Old City

Israeli police evacuated Muslims who requested to hold a mass Eid al-Fitr prayer in front of Herod's Gate in East Jerusalem, citing violation of Home Front Command guidelines and ongoing security alerts. The evacuation occurred amid multiple sirens this morning. Official Hamas channels claim Al-Aqsa Mosque has remained completely closed for 20 consecutive days, calling it an unprecedented event in the site's history, with worshippers now prevented from accessing the compound for Eid prayers.
