Israeli settlers began storming the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque in memory of the so-called “destruction of the Temple”, under heavy guard and protection of the Israeli occupation police.
The settlers performed rituals in front of Bab Al-Qattanin, one of the gates to Al-Aqsa Mosque in the occupied city of Al-Quds.
Hamas spokesperson for the city of Al-Quds, Muhammad Hamadeh, warned against settlers storming Al-Aqsa Mosque, threatening that there will be consequences.
Hamadeh added, 'Allowing the settlers to storm Al-Aqsa will be confronted by our people who are ready to confront the arrogance of the occupation and its settlers.' Earlier, the colonial, expansionist so-called “Temple Mount Movement” called for organizing large-scale incursions into the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque in memory of the so-called 'destruction of the Temple', on August 7.
The group urged Israeli settlers to organize large mass incursions and perform Talmudic rituals therein.عاجل| مستوطنون يقتحمون المسجد الأقصى بحماية مشددة من قوات الاحتلال.

In this context, Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid decided yesterday to allow settlers to storm the courtyards of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, in response to the demand of the extremist groups.
The Palestinian Resistance factions warned against these calls and called on the Palestinian people, and the Arab and Islamic nations to thwart these plans.

The Palestinian Resistance factions mourned the martyrs of the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip, stressing that the occupation bears all the repercussions of this aggression.
