周一，大批以色列占领者冲入被占领的东耶路撒冷阿克萨清真寺。与此同时，以色列当局强迫老城的巴勒斯坦商家关门，以便在住棚节期间进行犹太教祈祷。
Scores of Israeli occupiers stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied East Jerusalem on Monday, as Israeli authorities forced Palestinian businesses in the Old City to close to allow Jewish prayers during the Sukkot holiday.
占领者在社交媒体上发布的视频显示，大批人员冲入这一冲突多发地点，进行塔木德仪式、祈祷并唱歌。这些仪式主要集中在清真寺大院的东部。
Videos posted by occupiers on social media showed scores storming the flashpoint site and performing Talmudic rituals, prayers and singing. The rituals were concentrated in the eastern part of the mosque compound.
据耶路撒冷伊斯兰宗教基金会和巴勒斯坦媒体称，周日，包括国家安全部长伊塔马·本-格维尔在内的1500多名以色列占领者在警察的保护下强行进入阿克萨清真寺，以庆祝住棚节。
On Sunday, more than 1,500 Israeli occupiers, including National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, forced their way into the Al-Aqsa Mosque to celebrate Sukkot under police protection, according to the Islamic Waqf Department in Jerusalem and Palestinian media.
此次入侵引发了广泛谴责。巴勒斯坦总统发言人纳比勒·阿布·鲁代纳称此举是“玩火，是对全世界穆斯林感情的危险挑衅”。他还警告称，以色列正试图在该地区点燃一场“宗教战争”。
The incursion triggered widespread condemnation, with Palestinian presidential spokesman Nabil Abu Rudeineh describing it as “playing with fire and a dangerous provocation to the feelings of Muslims around the world.” He also warned of a “religious war” that Israel was seeking to ignite in the region.
阿克萨清真寺是世界穆斯林的第三大圣地。犹太人称该地区为圣殿山，声称这里是古代两座犹太圣殿的所在地。
Al-Aqsa Mosque is the world's third-holiest site for Muslims. Jews call the area Temple Mount, claiming it was the site of two Jewish temples in ancient times.
自犹太节日开始以来，这一冲突多发地点的占领者入侵事件有所增加，并在以色列警察和部队的严密保护下，在庭院内进行塔木德仪式和祈祷。
The flashpoint site has seen an increase in occupier incursions since the start of the Jewish holidays, accompanied by Talmudic rituals and prayers inside its courtyards under heavy protection from Israeli police and forces.
犹太节日期间始于9月12日至13日的犹太新年，随后是9月21日至22日的赎罪日。住棚节从9月26日持续到10月2日，随后是10月3日的妥拉节。
The Jewish holiday period began with Rosh Hashanah on Sept. 12-13, followed by Yom Kippur on Sept. 21-22. Sukkot runs from Sept. 26 to Oct. 2, followed by Simchat Torah on Oct. 3.
周一的入侵发生时，以色列当局强迫通往阿克萨清真寺的棉商市场（Cotton Merchants Market）的数十名巴勒斯坦店主关闭店铺，并要求居民待在家中，以便在住棚节期间进行犹太教祈祷。
Closures Monday’s intrusion came as Israeli authorities forced dozens of Palestinian shopkeepers to close their businesses and residents to remain inside their homes in the Cotton Merchants Market, which leads to Al-Aqsa Mosque, to allow Jewish prayers during Sukkot.
以色列民权协会在一份声明中表示：“耶路撒冷老城棉商市场的数十名巴勒斯坦商店、咖啡馆和餐馆业主被迫在犹太住棚节期间关门停业，以便为在市场内举行的犹太祈祷活动腾出空间。”
“Dozens of Palestinian owners of shops, cafes and restaurants in the Cotton Merchants Market in Jerusalem’s Old City were forced to close them during the Jewish Sukkot holiday to make way for Jewish prayers in the market,” the Association for Civil Rights in Israel said in a statement.
该协会称，当局还下令居住在祈祷路线沿线的约200名巴勒斯坦人在祈祷期间不得离开家门。
The authorities also ordered around 200 Palestinians living along the prayer route not to leave their homes while the prayers were being held, the association said.
商户们表示，这是他们首次被要求在整个节日期间关闭店铺，以往的停业要求仅限于特定时段。
Traders said this was the first time they had been ordered to close their businesses throughout the holiday period, with previous closures limited to certain hours.
据该协会介绍，棉商市场位于通往阿克萨清真寺的必经之路上，共有56家商店、咖啡馆和餐馆。
The Cotton Merchants Market lies on a route leading to Al-Aqsa Mosque and contains 56 shops, cafes and restaurants, according to the association.
该协会称，以色列警方上周通过电话通知商户停业，随后警员又亲自走访各商铺，直接告知业主必须在节日期间的大部分时间里关门。
Israeli police informed traders of the closure by phone last week before officers later visited the businesses and told owners directly that they had to close during most days of the holiday, it said.
据该协会透露，警方并未提供有关停业的书面命令或说明，仅告知商户此举是为了让犹太祈祷活动能够在市场内进行。
Police did not provide a written order or instructions regarding the closures, telling traders only that the measure was intended to allow Jewish prayers to be held in the market, according to the association.
该协会表示：“当时的情况并不涉及任何足以证明连续多日实施如此严厉限制措施的突发安全事件。”并补充说，警方本可以采取其他措施，例如更改祈祷路线、缩短祈祷时间，或部署警力保护商户及其经营场所。
“The situation did not involve a security event that would justify restrictions of such severity for consecutive days,” it said, adding that police could instead alter the prayer route, shorten prayer hours or deploy forces to protect traders and their businesses.
该协会律师塔尔·哈辛（Tal Hassin）表示：“为了在老城举行犹太祈祷活动，而强迫数十名巴勒斯坦商户在整个节日期间关门停业，并要求数百名居民待在家中不得外出，这是令人无法接受的。”
“It is unacceptable for dozens of Palestinian traders to be forced to close their businesses throughout the holiday period and for hundreds of residents to be told to remain in their homes in order to hold Jewish prayers in the Old City,” said Tal Hassin, an attorney with the association.
“警方正在颠倒黑白：他们非但没有保护居民、确保其日常生活正常进行并保护其财产，反而让他们付出了代价，”她补充道。“这些指令必须立即撤销，并允许商家开门营业。”巴勒斯坦人将阿克萨清真寺所在的东耶路撒冷视为未来巴勒斯坦国的首都，这一立场基于国际决议，这些决议不承认以色列在1967年对该市的占领，也不承认其在1980年的吞并。
“The police are turning things upside down: Instead of protecting residents, ensuring the continuation of their daily lives and protecting their property, they are making them pay the price,” she added. “These instructions must be canceled immediately and the businesses allowed to open.” Palestinians regard East Jerusalem, where Al-Aqsa is located, as the capital of a future Palestinian state, based on international resolutions that do not recognize Israel’s occupation of the city in 1967 or its annexation in 1980.
