Ben-Gvir Describes Himself as Master of the House at Al-Aqsa Opening

Here is the rewritten article in a neutral newsroom style:

Multiple Palestinians killed in ongoing Gaza attacks amid escalating violence.

A ceasefire between the United States and Iran led to the reopening of holy sites in occupied East Jerusalem and the removal of movement barriers in the occupied West Bank. On Friday, April 9, over 100,000 Muslim worshippers attended the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound for the first Friday prayers since February 28. The Church of the Holy Sepulchre also reopened on Holy Fire Saturday.

However, celebrations were tempered by a significant Israeli security presence and police arrests during processions. Palestinian Authority officials reported that Israeli forces removed Palestinian flag patches from scouts’ uniforms. On April 9, settlers stormed the Al-Aqsa compound again, prompting a condemnation from Jordan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs for violating the site’s status quo.

Despite the Iran ceasefire, Israeli air attacks and artillery fire continued across the Gaza Strip throughout the week. On April 8, an Israeli drone attack killed Al Jazeera journalist Mohammed Wishah in Gaza City, bringing the total number of Palestinian media workers killed since October 2023 to at least 262. Nine-year-old Ritaj Rihan was shot and killed in northern Gaza on April 9 while studying in a tent used for classes.

Since October 7, 2023, the cumulative official death toll stands at 72,333, with 754 Palestinians killed and over 2,100 injured as of April 13. The killing of a Palestinian driver by Israeli forces triggered the suspension of medical evacuations through the Rafah crossing for several days. Evacuations resumed on April 12, but a backlog of more than 18,000 people awaits evacuation.
