The latest incidents included house demolitions, mass arrests, restrictions on worshippers at Al-Aqsa Mosque, and attacks on Christian sites in occupied Jerusalem, amid continued Israeli military operations across Palestinian areas.

Local sources said Israeli bulldozers destroyed a house under construction and a horse stable in Kafr Malik after forcing the owners to evacuate the horses from the site.
In Jenin, Israeli forces distributed demolition notices in the Duwar al-Badiya area, east of the city, as part of ongoing measures that aim to pressure residents into leaving their homes.
In Nablus, occupation forces demolished an agricultural structure and a water pipeline in the village of Beit Dajan.
Palestinian reports said Israeli forces demolished 42 Palestinian homes in the West Bank during June, alongside 303 operations targeting other structures and property.
Meanwhile, Israeli occupation forces carried out overnight and early morning raids across several West Bank areas, detaining Palestinians and clashing with local youths.
The raids took place in Tulkarem, Jenin and Bethlehem, according to Palestinian media, which reported that a number of Palestinians have been arrested.

The Palestine Center for Prisoners Studies said Israeli authorities arrested 600 Palestinians across the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem during July, including 55 children and 14 women and girls.
The center said the latest arrests bring the total number of Palestinians detained since October 7, 2023, to 24,600.
Settlers Attacks
Earlier on Sunday, Israeli settlers, escorted by occupation police, entered the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied Jerusalem in multiple groups, amid restrictions imposed on Muslim worshippers.
Local sources said around 170 settlers entered the mosque compound through the Maghariba Gate and toured its courtyards. Some settlers performed provocative rituals and received lectures from rabbis regarding the alleged “Temple Mount.”

Meanwhile, Israeli police restricted the movement of Muslim worshippers at the holy compound’s entrances and prevented some from entering the holy site.
In a separate incident, extremist settlers attacked the Armenian Church in Jerusalem’s Old City, throwing stones at its entrance and spitting on its doors, according to the Jerusalem Governorate.
