Israelis Gather at Jerusalem Holy Site Ahead of Yom Kippur

Ahead of Yom Kippur, far-right Israeli minister Ben-Gvir entered the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound with 570 settlers, drawing condemnation from Jordan and the Palestinian Authority. Prime Minister Netanyahu and thousands of Israelis also entered the Western Wall plaza. Ben Hassin, freed after 11 years in an Iraqi prison, visited the Western Wall before the holiday. A Jerusalem Reform synagogue was vandalized for the third time in one month.
