Regarding Al-Aqsa Mosque, the report recorded 6,176 settlers raiding the mosque, alongside 8,885 others entering under the cover of tourism, protected by occupation forces. It noted an escalation in the open performance of Talmudic rituals, including congregational prayers, chants, dancing and prostration, and the raising of the occupation flag in front of the Dome of the Rock, in addition to the raid on the mosque by extremist Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, accompanied by Knesset member Moshe Feiglin, on 26 October.
It noted that 19 injuries were recorded among citizens due to attacks by occupation forces and settlers, including shootings, beatings and inhalation of tear gas, while settler attacks amounted to 56, including five cases of physical assault, one of which led to the martyrdom of al-Natsheh.

The demolitions targeted houses, residential apartments and buildings in several towns of the governorate and displaced dozens of citizens.
