Senior Islamic Jihad official Khader Habib has warned the Israeli occupation of persisting in its attacks on the Aqsa Mosque saying it would pay dearly for its aggressive practices against the holy site and Muslim worshipers.
Habib made his remarks during a sit-in staged on Wednesday by Islamic Jihad in Gaza in support of the Aqsa Mosque.
“The Aqsa Mosque is a red line and any attack on its courtyards will trigger a massive fire in all parts of the world to defend it” the Islamic Jihad official said.
He warned that the recent Israeli escalation against the Aqsa Mosque is aimed at imposing new faits accomplis at the holy site and in Jerusalem.
He applauded the Jerusalemites for their courage in defending the Aqsa Mosque saying they “are fighting the most honorable battles against the occupation’s plots to control the historic city of Jerusalem and change its Islamic landmarks.”
