Days of Palestine, Jerusalem –Dozens of Jewish extremists settlers stormed on Friday Al-Aqsa Mosque chanting “the mosque will burn and the temple rebuilt.”
The settlers gathered near the Begin Heritage Centre in the Palestinian occupied city of Jerusalem, where the Jewish rabbi Yehuda Glick was shot last week by a Palestinian man.
Witnesses said that the settlers moved towards Al-Aqsa Mosque holding a banner of reading “Marching in our Jerusalem.” They shouted: “The mosque will burn and the temple rebuilt.”
In a speech for Omri Ganor addressing the settlers, he blamed the Palestinians for the current unrest in the city.
“Arab elements and everyone trying to harm Jews are attempting to scare people so that Jews will be afraid to walk around in Jerusalem,” he said. “We are making a statement that we will march anywhere and not be afraid.”
“We are marching with our faces towards our sacred place –the Temple Mount, where we will build a third temple, by the grace of God,” Ganor added.
Meanwhile, the Israeli police prevented women and men under 50 from entering into the Mosque to perform the Friday prayer. Thousands of Palestinians worshipers performed the prayer in the streets of the holy city.
