How do Jewish traditions interpret Daniel 8’s “2,300 evenings and mornings”?

Hi all, I think a similar question came up recently, but I think this angle wasn’t covered directly.

I recently saw a video (not scholarly, just one of many online) suggesting that Daniel 8:13–14, the “2,300 evenings and mornings” until the sanctuary is restored, might point to the 1967 recapture of Jerusalem, maybe using the “day = year” idea.

I’m curious — how do different branches of Judaism (Orthodox, Conservative, Reform) understand these verses, do any traditional or modern Jewish sources actually apply a “day-year” logic to Daniel 8, and if not, how are the 2,300 evenings and mornings usually interpreted?

Thanks in advance.
