Hamas spokesman Husam Badran said on Tuesday that Israeli escalated aggression on al-Aqsa Mosque the third holiest site in Islam will be met with escalated response from the Palestinian resistance.
Badran warned of the repercussions of Israel’s arbitrary abduction campaign against al-Aqsa’s supervision personnel.
“The Palestinian resistance fighters and activists will never remain mum over the mounting Israeli crimes against al-Aqsa place of worship” vowed Badran.
“The abductions come at a time when the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave a green light for the break-ins at al-Aqsa by Israeli MKs” the Hamas leader noted.
He further warned of underway calls launched by Israel’s Women for the Temple organization to step up sacrilegious assaults at al-Aqsa Mosque during the upcoming Jewish Passover to be celebrated in two weeks’ time.
Badran stressed the need to intensify presence at al-Aqsa so as to defend the holy site against the mounting Israeli aggressions.
Six Muslim guards at holy al-Aqsa Mosque are held in Israeli detention centers across Occupied Jerusalem. The guards were arrested by the Israeli forces after they aborted a stone-theft attempt by an Israeli archaeologist at al-Aqsa.
