Far-right 'Israeli' minister Ben-Gvir storms Aqsa Mosque amid police protection
'Israeli' National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir stormed the Aqsa Mosque compound in occupied East Jerusalem early Wednesday, accompanied by dozens of settlers and protected by heavily armed 'Israeli' police. According to the Minister of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs in Jerusalem, Ben-Gvir entered the courtyards of the mosque under tight security measures enforced by 'Israeli' forces, including special units. It marks his eighth intrusion into the site since joining Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's far-right government in 2022. Eyewitnesses and local sources reported that groups of settlers entered the compound from the Moroccan Gate (Bab al-Maghariba), performed provocative tours, and received briefings about the so-called 'Temple Mount.' Some were seen performing open Talmudic rituals near the eastern section of the mosque before exiting through the Chain Gate (Bab al-Silsila). The incursion was led by Ben-Gvir alongside senior Israeli police officers, drawing widespread condemnation from Palestinians in Jerusalem. The Palestinian Ministry of Awqaf and Religious Affairs described the move as a serious provocation and a deliberate escalation. In parallel, 'Israeli' police intensified their restrictions at the mosque's entrances, preventing many Palestinians from entering or praying. Several worshippers had their ID cards confiscated, while others were delayed or turned away entirely—a continuation of long-standing measures aimed at tightening 'Israeli' control over the holy site.

Three Palestinian paramedics killed by 'Israeli' tank shell while on duty
Three Palestinian paramedics were killed by an 'Israeli' tank shell as they attempted to evacuate wounded individuals from a home in Gaza City, the Gaza Interior Ministry's Medical Services Directorate announced Tuesday. In a statement, the directorate mourned the three members of its Ambulance and Emergency department, saying they "were killed by Israeli occupation fire while performing their humanitarian duty." The attack occurred Monday night in the Tuffah neighborhood, northeast of Gaza City. The paramedics were attempting to reach several injured people inside a house that had been targeted by 'Israeli' forces when they were struck. The statement added that the three were killed instantly by a "direct hit from an Israeli tank shell." According to the directorate, another ambulance crew that attempted to reach the scene to retrieve the bodies came under fire from 'Israeli' military vehicles and drones, preventing their access. "After strenuous efforts, our crews were able to retrieve the martyrs from the targeted location this morning, several hours after the incident occurred," the statement continued. The Medical Services Directorate has called on the international community and all relevant institutions to open an "urgent international investigation into this Israeli crime." It also pleaded for "the provision of protection for medical teams and to work to prevent the occupation's repeated targeting of them during the course of their duties." The directorate affirmed it would continue its humanitarian mission despite the significant risks. In a separate statement on Tuesday, Hamas condemned the attack, calling the targeting of the ambulance crew "a compound war crime, added to the black record of the Zionist occupation." "Targeting those who rescue the victims represents an unprecedented level of brutality and criminality, and reveals the occupation's endeavor to choke all tools of survival and rescue in Gaza," the Hamas statement read.
