以色列极右翼国家安全部长伊塔玛尔·本-格维尔周四领导数千名犹太极端分子进入耶路撒冷阿克萨清真寺院落，在该地进行祈祷、挥舞以色列国旗并演唱国歌 [1]。这一行动打破了禁止非穆斯林在这一伊斯兰圣地祈祷的数十年既定协议 [1]。
根据伊斯兰宗教基金部门数据，上午有3228名以色列人进入该院落，预计下午还有数千人涌入 [1]。此举发生在犹太教的提莎·巴夫节（纪念第一圣殿和第二圣殿毁灭）当日 [1]。
本-格维尔在社交媒体上宣称"我们在这里看到了巨大进展"，并表示犹太人祈祷时"感到自己是主人" [1]。
巴勒斯坦和约旦对此强烈谴责。巴勒斯坦宗教基金与事务部指控这些行为"源于占领政府的最高政治层级，试图点燃整个地区的宗教战争" [1]。
根据《海阿雷茨报》报道，冲突期间有16名犹太嫌疑人因暴力事件被逮捕 [1]。历史上，2000年以色列前反对派领导人沙龙访问同一地点曾引发第二次巴勒斯坦起义，持续五年 [1]。哈马斯曾将2023年10月对以色列的攻击命名为"阿克萨洪水"，该攻击造成1200名以色列人丧生，随后引发加沙战争 [1]。
Israel's far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir led thousands of Jewish extremists into the Al-Aqsa mosque compound in Jerusalem on Thursday, where they prayed, waved Israeli flags, and sang the national anthem [1]. The incursion violated decades-long agreements prohibiting non-Muslim prayer at the holy site [1].
According to the Islamic religious endowment authority, approximately 3,228 Israeli visitors entered the compound during the morning hours, with thousands more expected in the afternoon [1]. The incident occurred on Tisha B'Av, a Jewish holiday commemorating the destruction of the First and Second Temples [1].
Ben-Gvir posted on social media stating "we have seen tremendous progress here," adding that Jewish worshippers felt "like owners" while praying at the site [1]. In overnight clashes, 16 Jewish suspects were arrested on suspicion of violent offenses, according to Israeli media reports [1].
The visit drew swift international condemnation. Palestinian and Jordanian officials denounced the action as a dangerous provocation risking religious conflict [1]. The Palestinian religious endowment and affairs ministry characterized the incidents as stemming "from the highest political echelons of the occupying government" and aimed at igniting "religious war across the entire region" [1].
The compound incursion carries historical significance given that a 2000 visit by then-Israeli opposition leader Ariel Sharon to the same site sparked the Second Palestinian Uprising, which lasted five years [1]. Hamas named its October 2023 attack on Israel "Operation Al-Aqsa Flood," killing 1,200 Israelis and triggering the ongoing Gaza war [1].
