Hamas held israel responsible for its assault on the worshipers inside the Al-Aqsa Mosque at dawn Sunday as well as the repercussions of allowing settlers to storm and desecrate Al-Aqsa courtyards, which constitutes a provocation to the feelings of the Palestinian people, Arabs, and Muslims.
The Movement stressed that the continuation of the attack on worshipers and on the sanctity of the holy site will backfire on the occupation and its settlers; “our people will stand firmly in the face of the occupation and its crimes and will continue to be the vanguard in defending Jerusalem and the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque.”
The zionist police forces stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque and assaulted the fasting worshipers with beating and violent shoving to pave the way for the Jewish settlers’ incursion.
Palestinian youths blocked the eastern side of Al-Aqsa Mosque, “a path where dozens of settlers perform prayers,” with stones and wooden blocks. (ILKHA)
