Israeli occupation forces stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque last night in occupied East Jerusalem and removed hundreds of Palestinian worshippers, including the Islamic Waqf guards.

Israeli soldiers then locked the gates leading to the mosque and prevented access to Palestinians arriving for night-long prayers to mark the first day of Dhu Al-Hijja, the final month in the Islamic calendar, reported Wafa news agency.

Following the raid, the female Palestinian worshipers moved to the steps in the Old City’s Bab Al-Amoud {Damascus Gate) area, to protest until the soldiers forced them to leave.

According to local eyewitnesses, the purpose of the raid was to empty the compound of Palestinian worshipers to allow Israeli settlers to raid the Muslim holy site.

Palestinians were also not allowed to perform morning prayers at Al-Aqsa this morning and chose to hold them in the alleyways of the Old City which lead to the holy site.

Palestinians accuse Israel of systematically working to Judaise East Jerusalem, where Al-Aqsa is located, and obliterate its Arab and Islamic identity.

Al-Aqsa Mosque is the third holiest site in Islam and an area where non-Muslim prayer and rituals are forbidden by long-standing agreement. However, since 2003, Israel has allowed settlers into the compound almost daily.

Israel occupied East Jerusalem during the 1967 Arab-Israeli War. It annexed the entire city in 1980 in a move never recognized by the international community.

Sadistic, premeditated provocation. Every Muslim holiday, the Khazarica mafia act the same.

The old fiction that these European Jews used to tell the world that they are the Hebrews who were thrown out by the Romans 2000 years ago has been shredded by DNA because DNA has confirmed the Europeans news actually have 0% ancestry link to the Middle East and yet shamelessly these very foreign European Jews still continue to claim to be the Hebrews.

And unless they claim to be the Hebrews, they feel like a deflated balloon and therefore they will continue to claim to be the precious Israelite’s despite everything about them not being Middle Eastern.

In accordance with the terms of the treaty now in effect, Muslim worshipers are NOT allowed to hole up overnight in the Al Aqsa Mosque. The Jordanian Waqf’s should have been enforcing the rules and laws that they are presumably in charge of enforcing.

With the establishment of the British Mandate, four decades of peaceful Palestinian resistance had proved futile, and armed Palestinian resistance—which included terrorism—began. Zionist terror became the domain of formal organizations that attacked anyone in the way of its messianic goals—Palestinian, Jew, or British. These terror organizations operated from within the Zionist settlements and were actively empowered and shielded by the settlements and the Jewish Agency, the recognized semi-autonomous government of the Zionist settlements, what would become the Israeli government. There was no substantive difference between the acknowledged terror organizations—most famously, the Irgun, and Lehi, the so-called Stern Gang—and the Jewish… Read more »
