Israeli forces ordered dozens of Palestinian shops in the Old City of occupied East Jerusalem to close, affecting over 50 businesses in the Muslim Quarter. The closures, which took effect Sunday morning, were due to the holiday rituals and are scheduled to remain in place until October 2. The affected shops are located along streets leading to Bab al-Qattanin, one of the main gates to Al-Aqsa used by Palestinian worshippers.
