Israeli occupation authority’s (IOA) intelligence apparatus has summoned dozens of Palestinian activists and served them notices to stay away from the Al-Aqsa Mosque for ten days.
Local sources said that the IOA carried out a campaign of arrests that included about 100 young men and activists from Jerusalem and Umm al-Fahm (in 1948 occupied Palestine) and handed them orders to stay away from Al-Aqsa in an attempt to secure the Israeli settlers’ march of flags scheduled for next Sunday.
Umm al-Fahm activists said that the Israeli right-wing racist incitement campaigns will not deter them from fulfilling their duty in defending the holy Islamic site.
The IOA fears the possibility of confrontations on the anniversary of the occupation of East Jerusalem or what they call the “Unification of Jerusalem” which falls on May 29.
The IOA raised the state of alert in the city of Jerusalem in anticipation of protests against the “March of Flags” next Sunday.
The alleged temple groups called for a mass storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque; celebrating the anniversary of the occupation of East Jerusalem raising the Israeli flags in its courtyards and performing Talmudic rituals.
