The widespread presence of Palestinians in Al-Aqsa Mosque for Eid al-Fitr prayers prompted the Israelis to make every effort to prevent them from entering the mosque.

However, the Palestinians' insistence on attending the Al-Aqsa Mosque for the Eid al-Fitr prayer prevented the Israelis from confronting them. Therefore; Israel withdrew its threats to prevent Palestinians from entering the Al-Aqsa Mosque on Eid al-Fitr due to fears of heavy clashes.
