Thousands of police have been deployed around the narrow streets of the Old City in Jerusalem, where tens of thousands of worshippers are expected every day at the Al-Aqsa compound during Ramadan. The compound has been a longstanding flashpoint for trouble and was one of the starting points of the last war in 2021 between Israel and Hamas. Israel's campaign in Gaza has caused increasing alarm as the risk of famine grows. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu assured that the numbers admitted to Al-Aqsa would be similar to last year.
