Iran's Mehr News Agency (MNA) published a video on Sept. 27 that it says shows Israeli settlers performing religious rituals in Jerusalem's Old City, an area whose status is contested between Israelis and Palestinians, after nearby Palestinian-owned shops were reportedly closed.
According to the brief description accompanying the footage, the shop closures preceded the settlers' activity in the area, though the report did not specify who ordered or enforced the closures, the exact location within the Old City, or further details about the circumstances.
Tensions around religious and commercial activity in Jerusalem's Old City, home to sites sacred to Judaism, Islam and Christianity, have periodically flared, with Palestinian shopkeepers and residents at times reporting disruptions tied to visits by Israeli settlers or security operations. Israeli authorities have not commented on the specific incident described in the Mehr News report.
