Why it matters:
Al-Aqsa Mosque has always been considered one of the holiest places on earth throughout history. This mosque holds a special place among Muslims and is considered their first Qibla and their third holiest place. So, following the Zionist plan to attack Al-Aqsa Mosque, many warnings have been raised by religious and political figures about this regime's project to impose a new reality on this holy place and destroy its Islamic identity.
The big picture:
The upcoming anniversary has historically been a flashpoint for conflict between Israelis and Palestinians. The involvement of prominent far-right figures and security forces in the planned assault raises concerns about the potential for increased violence.
What he is saying:
According to local sources, the assault is expected to be carried out with the participation of notable far-right Zionist figures and will be supported by the occupying regime's security forces.
Key points:
- Extremist Jewish groups are planning a mass assault on Al-Aqsa Mosque.
- The assault coincides with the anniversary of what the Zionists call the "Destruction of the Temple."
- Palestinian groups are urging the public to gather at Al-Aqsa to perform religious observances and resist the assault.
