More than 11,400 Israelis entered the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in Jerusalem's Old City during the Jewish holiday season, according to the Jerusalem Governorate, as reported by Anadolu Agency.
The governorate, a Palestinian administrative body, said the visits were accompanied by increasingly public religious rituals, some of which involved Israeli ministers and other political figures.
The site, known to Muslims as Al-Haram Al-Sharif and to Jews as the Temple Mount, has long been a flashpoint, with access and religious practice there subject to longstanding arrangements between Israeli authorities and Islamic religious trusts.
The governorate's report adds to a recurring pattern of tension surrounding visits to the site during Jewish holiday periods, with Palestinian officials frequently raising concerns over changes to the status quo governing the compound.
