Occupied Quds - Saba:
This Sunday morning, extremist Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and hundreds of settlers stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque from the Mughrabi Gate, under heavy protection from Israeli police, to commemorate the so-called "Destruction of the Temple" anniversary.
This incursion comes in response to calls by the so-called "Temple Organizations" to organize a large-scale incursion into Al-Aqsa Mosque on what is known as the "Destruction of the Temple" anniversary today, according to the Palestinian Safa News Agency.
An Al-Aqsa worker reported that extremist Ben-Gvir and 3,022 settlers stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque and organized provocative tours of its courtyards.
He explained that the intruders performed Talmudic rituals and prayers, "priestly blessings," and "epic prostration" in the mosque and in its eastern area, in a clear violation of the sanctity of the mosque. He added that the western courtyard of Al-Aqsa, like the eastern courtyards, has been transformed into a stage for Jewish singing, prayer, and prostration inside the mosque.
He expected that Al-Aqsa Mosque would witness large numbers of settlers storming the mosque and unprecedented provocations in its courtyards, with the storming hours extended until 3:00 PM.
He stated that the enemy police had tightened their measures against Palestinians entering the blessed mosque and deployed heavily in the Old City and the vicinity of Al-Aqsa.
After midnight last night, the extremist Ben-Gvir led a provocative march of settlers in the Old City of occupied Quds, in preparation for widespread storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque on Sunday, on the occasion of the so-called "anniversary of the destruction of the Temple".
Ben-Gvir said during his storming of the Old City: "We are not content with mourning. We are thinking about building the Temple, about sovereignty, and about imposing rule. We have done this in many places, and we will do it in Gaza as well." Extremist organizations called for a large-scale storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque on Sunday, the biblical anniversary known as "The Anniversary of the Destruction of the Temple." Canopies were set up in the lower courtyard in front of the entrance to the invaders' bridge, in preparation for receiving the crowds of settlers while they waited for the incursion. They view this anniversary as a day to renew the pledge to remove Al-Aqsa from existence and establish the alleged Temple, and to achieve practical strides towards this end. They seek to impose the largest number of intruders each year.
The "Temple Mount in Our Hands" organization launched its provocative call with a drawing of the "Temple" erected in the entirety of the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, surrounded by a drawing of enemy soldiers with the phrase "Complete victory on the Temple Mount has not been achieved." This clear expression reflects the vision of these organizations, which view Al-Aqsa Mosque as a central front in the war, where a complete resolution must be achieved, in line with the Zionist strategy on all fronts.
Every year, the "Temple Organizations" seek to break the record for intruders on this occasion, attempting to establish it as an occasion for a pledge and confirmation of the establishment of the alleged "Temple" by mobilizing the largest number of intruders.
In contrast, Qudsi bodies and institutions called on the Palestinian people in Quds, the occupied territories, and all areas of the West Bank to head to Al-Aqsa Mosque tomorrow to confront the Israeli occupation. Settler incursions.
Al-Aqsa Mosque is witnessing continuous attacks and incursions by settlers and the occupation police, in an attempt to alter the religious and historical reality and impose Judaization facts on it.
