Palestinians Unanimous in Defending Al-Aqsa Mosque: Hamas
Hamas spokesperson Mohammad Hamadeh said on Sunday that the Palestinian nation will never abandon Al-Aqsa Mosque in the face of Zionist occupiers’ aggressions and onslaughts.
The Zionist enemy will not be able to change the status quo and the current equations regarding the holy site, he added.
Resistance will continue until the destruction of the Zionist regime, he underlined.
Hamadeh said the regime’s continued aggressions on the mosque are an attempt to conceal its defeats.
His remarks came after extremist settlers stormed the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque on Sunday under Israeli troops’ protection amid efforts to Judaize the Muslim place of worship.
The settlers “carried out provocative tours in the courtyards of the mosque,” Al-Mayadeen reported.
Video footage posted on social media shows settlers touring the Al-Aqsa Mosque courtyards in “biblical white clothing,” as described by Shehab news agency.
Local sources, as cited by Al-Mayadeen, informed that Israeli security forces implemented stringent security measures around the Al-Aqsa Mosque, effectively preventing the entry of worshippers, students, and individuals under the age of 50.
The Islamic Endowments Department in Jerusalem disclosed that the Israeli military had taken steps to clear the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound before the settler incursion. Two individuals were subsequently apprehended within the compound and were later transported to undisclosed locations.
