The so-called “Temple Mount groups” continue to call for the largest possible number of settlers to storm Al-Aqsa Mosque during the upcoming Jewish holidays, set to begin later this month.
The Jewish holidays begin with “Rosh Hashanah,” which falls on Saturday and Sunday, September 16th and 17th of the current year. This is followed by the “Ten Days of Repentance,” during which incursions intensify. Then comes “Yom Kippur” on Monday, the 25th of the same month, followed by “Sukkot,” which starts on Saturday, September 30th, and continues until Saturday, October 7th of the upcoming month.
