Extremists affiliated to ‘Groups for the Temple Compound’ have called on supporters to participate in breaking into al-Aqsa Mosque on Wednesday and Thursday to celebrate the Jewish holiday of Purim.
The groups have sent out their calls through social media websites to organize a raid into the holy site in order to perform Talmudic rituals and to eat triangular fruit pastries called hamantaschen.
In this regard Jerusalemite groups stressed the urgent need to stand firmly against the Jewish plans.
Earlier on Tuesday morning dozens of Israeli settlers forced their way into al-Aqsa under military protection.
