Hamas said in a statement on Friday that the incitement campaigns organized by the so-called temple groups and organizations against the Al-Aqsa Mosque, and the publication of pictures and footage urging for its destruction and burning is a dangerous escalating step that comes as part of the Israeli schemes to Judaize the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
It called on the steadfast Palestinian people to frequent the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque and to stay in its courtyards to confront the Israeli plans against it.
Hamas also called on the peoples and governments of the Arab and Islamic countries, especially the countries of the Arab League and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, to assume their duties towards the Al-Aqsa Mosque to defend it against the dangers it is being exposed to and towards the people of Gaza and the genocide war they are subjected to.
On Thursday, the Temple Mount Activists group published on its account on X an AI video that shows the Dome of the Rock of the Al-Aqsa Mosque and its surroundings burning to the ground, with a caption that reads the phrase: “absolute victory”, before republishing it again with the caption: “Coming soon in these days”.
