OCCUPIED JERUSALEM (Palestine Foundation Information Center) The Islamic Movement in Occupied Jerusalem has warned that a grave danger lurks in the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, calling for the continuation of frequenting the holy site and staying in it, especially amid the ongoing calls from Jewish settler groups to storm the Mosque in the coming days.
In a statement, the Movement stressed the necessity of “continuing the mobilization, rallies, visits and staying at Al-Aqsa Mosque during the following days and weeks which are going to witness a wave of Jewish events and holidays.”
“Eid al-Fitr comes this year while the Palestinian people are losing tens of thousands of martyrs, wounded and prisoners, and millions of our people (Gaza Strip) have been suffering in shelter and displacement camps, under bombardment for more than half a year,” the statement highlighted.
The Movement saluted the thousands who “answered the call and marched towards Al-Aqsa Mosque chanting slogans in support of the Mosque and Gaza despite Israeli threats.”
It also praised the initiative of the Jerusalemite families and various authorities which calls for this year’s Eid celebrations to be limited to performing the Eid prayer in Al-Aqsa Mosque, paying family visitations, and sharing only coffee and dates without any manifestation of decoration or joy in solidarity with Gaza.”
The Islamic Movement urged Palestinians to visit the families of the martyrs, detainees and displaced in Jerusalem in solidarity with them.
In conjunction with the Israeli brutal war on the Gaza Strip since October 7, Occupied Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa Mosque have been subjected to strict Israeli measures amid ongoing raid and arrest campaigns against Jerusalemites, storming their homes and confiscating their property.
