The soldiers also invaded the al‑Bustan neighborhood in Silwan, south of the Al‑Aqsa Mosque, inspecting homes whose owners had been forced to demolish them themselves last week to ensure they had not rebuilt.
In addition, two workers were shot and injured by Israeli forces southeast of Jerusalem while attempting to cross the Annexation Wall in the Wadi al‑Hummus area. Their identities and medical conditions were not immediately known. Three additional workers were abducted, and their identities also remained unclear.
