Israeli forces stopped many Palestinians from entering Al-Aqsa Mosque to offer Eid prayers, continuing strict restrictions even on a major religious occasion.
Eyewitnesses said security forces used tear gas and batons to push back worshippers trying to reach the mosque area. Authorities also closed parts of the mosque compound to limit access.
As a result, a large number of Palestinians were not allowed inside and had to perform their Eid prayers outside the mosque. Some people were affected by the force used to disperse the crowd.
The incident has increased concerns about rising tensions at one of the most sensitive religious sites in the region. Experts warn that such actions could lead to further clashes.

Meanwhile, in Lebanon, Israeli forces reportedly continued attacks during Eid, with reports suggesting that journalists were also targeted. This has raised further concerns about the ongoing situation in the region.
The developments highlight growing unrest and uncertainty as the conflict continues to affect multiple areas.
