Israel's Ben-Gvir says he prayed at Al-Aqsa mosque compound
Far-right Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir visited the Al-Aqsa mosque compound on Sunday and said he prayed there, defying the long-standing rules governing one of the most sensitive sites in the Middle East. Under a decades-old and delicate "status quo" arrangement with Islamic authorities, the Al-Aqsa mosque is administered by a Jordanian religious body. Jews are allowed to visit the site but are not permitted to pray there. Footage published by a small Jewish group called the Temple Mount Administration showed Ben Gvir leading a group of worshippers at the site. Other videos circulating online appeared to show him praying. Reuters was unable to immediately verify the content of those other clips. Reuters

Two dead in communal violence in Sweida despite cease-fire At least two people were killed in renewed clashes Sunday in the Druze-majority province of Sweida in southern Syria, despite a cease-fire that came into effect on July 20 after intercommunal violence, according to an NGO. "A member of the security forces was killed and seven others wounded" in clashes "with local factions around Tal Hadid, in the west of the province of Sweida," SOHR said. Previously, according to the NGO, "a member of the local factions, originally from Sweida" had been killed in Tal Hadid, "a strategic high point" in the west of the province.
