According to a police statement, precise intelligence gathered by YAMAR Jerusalem uncovered active preparations for a ceremony organized by ‘PA’-linked entities. The operational findings were immediately presented to and approved by Israel Police Commissioner Danny Levi, Jerusalem District Commander Asst. Gen. Avshalom Peled, and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir. Following the intelligence assessment, Minister Ben-Gvir signed an official executive order prohibiting the event from taking place. On Monday, YAMAR detectives alongside David Precinct police officers raided the Old City compound, encountering organizers finalizing preparations on-site. Officers served the assembly with the ministerial closure order, ordering an immediate halt to all proceedings.
