Israel's official position accepts decades-old rules restricting non-Muslim prayer at the compound, Islam's third holiest site and known to Jews as the Temple Mount, who believe it is the site of two ancient temples. The post included a picture of Ben-Gvir walking in the compound, situated on an elevated plaza in the occupied East Jerusalem's walled Old City, but no images or video of him praying.
Palestinian resistance group Hamas took about 250 hostages in its October 7, 2023 attack on southern Israel in which 1,200 people were killed, according to Israeli tallies. In the ensuing war on Gaza, Israeli forces have killed over 45,300 Palestinians, according to health officials in the enclave.
