Israeli police and mounted units were heavily deployed in the northern town of Arraba on Saturday as residents marked the 26th anniversary of the Jerusalem Uprising, also known as the "Uprising of Al-Aqsa." Commemorative events began in the morning with visits to martyrs' graves and memorials in several Arab towns, including Jatt, Umm al-Fahm, Muawiya, Nazareth, Kafr Kanna, Kafr Mandi, and Sakhnin, before culminating in Arraba. A central national march was scheduled to start at 4 p.m. from the Old Mosque on Zahir al-Umar Street, proceeding to a square near the memorial for the uprising's martyrs. The Higher Follow-up Committee for Arab Citizens in Israel, in cooperation with the National Committee of Heads of Arab Local Authorities and popular committees, organized the commemoration. The events honor 13 Palestinians from within Israel who were killed by Israeli police during the 2000 Jerusalem Uprising. The uprising began on October 1, 2000, following Ariel Sharon's visit to the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, sparking protests across Palestinian communities in Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza.
