> 📰 On Monday, Israeli forces detained the imam of Al-Aqsa, Sheikh Mohammed al-Abbasi, from the mosque’s courtyards without providing a reason, according to the Wafa news agency.

At the same time, Israeli forces have tightened restrictions on Muslim Palestinian access to the site during Ramadan, when hundreds of thousands typically gather for prayer.

Sheikh Ikrima Sabri, the former grand mufti of Jerusalem who is banned from entering al-Aqsa Mosque, said the measures confirm “Israel’s ambitions toward Al-Aqsa” and show it does not want Muslims to fast freely and peacefully.

He accused Israel of seeking to “disrupt Muslims’ observance of Ramadan through arbitrary actions”.

Al-Aqsa Mosque, one of Islam’s holiest sites, has stood at the centre of Israel’s decades-long occupation of Palestine.

For Palestinians and Muslims worldwide, the mosque symbolises the struggle for freedom, identity and independence.

The Governorate of Jerusalem has warned of increasingly open and accelerated moves by extremist Jewish groups that it says are now working methodically to target, and ultimately destroy, Al-Aqsa Mosque to replace it with the so-called " Third Temple"... #jerusalem #Israel #alaqsamosque #middleeastconflict

Israeli Far-Right National Security Minister Ben-Gvir Prays at Al-Aqsa Mosque Compound

Israel’s far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir prayed at the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in Jerusalem today. Itamar Ben-Gvir: “We are two years after the terrible massacre here on the Temple Mount, where there is victory. Every house in Gaza has a picture of the Temple Mount. And today, two years later, we are winning on the Temple Mount. We are the owners of the Temple Mount.” Hamas condemned Ben-Gvir’s visit as “deliberately provocative.”

Ben-Gvir’s Mass Al-Aqsa Incursion is a “Declaration of War”

Palestinian resistance factions issued condemnations following the storming of the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound by extremist minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, who led over three thousand settlers in a provocative incursion under heavy guard by occupation forces. The factions universally decried the event, which included depicting an alleged temple, as a dangerous escalation and a systematic crime aimed at the complete Judaization of Al-Quds. The Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine described the incursion as a “dangerous desecration” and a methodical escalation in the ongoing war against Palestinian holy sites. They stated that the ultimate goal is to impose full zionist control, divide the mosque, and pave the way for its eventual destruction. The movement condemned the “Arab silence” while these crimes unfold. It held the zionist government and its partners in the U.S. administration fully responsible for the consequences, warning silent Arab regimes that the “zionist danger” will eventually target them if they continue to abandon their religious and moral duty to Palestine. The Popular Resistance Committees in Palestine labeled Ben-Gvir a “fascist terrorist criminal” and the incursion a message of contempt for all Muslims and Arabs. The PRC asserted that this act, combined with the “Arab and Islamic silence on the genocide in Gaza,” has emboldened the occupation to desecrate holy sites. The Committees declared that such assaults prove the “only language the zionists understand is the language of resistance” and warned that continued attacks on Al-Aqsa will “ignite a religious war, the first to be burned by its fire will be the extremist zionists.” They called for a general mobilization across the nation and urged Palestinians in the West Bank, Al-Quds, and the ’48 territories to “set the earth on fire” under the invaders’ feet. Hamas characterized the mass storming as an “escalating crime” and a deliberate provocation against Muslims worldwide. The movement noted that the incursion, timed for a Jewish holiday, was preceded by the emptying of the mosque of its Muslim worshippers. Hamas stated that the zionist government’s simultaneous genocide and its terror in the West Bank “pours oil on the fire in the region.” It warned that this criminal behavior threatens regional and international peace and security, demanding a serious response from the UN to hold the extremist government accountable. The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine described the act as “pouring more fire on an explosive barrel” and a clear translation of Israel’s “racist, fascist ideology,” directly sponsored by the United States. The PFLP warned that the occupation is attempting to move beyond plans for a “temporal and spatial division” of the mosque towards imposing complete control as part of a systematic Judaization project. It stressed that the Palestinian people will not stand idly by and that the necessary response must be an escalation of “all forms of resistance, foremost of which is armed resistance.” The Front called for an “open confrontation” with the occupation and its settlers. The Mujahideen Movement expressed its “disgust at the Arab and Islamic silence” in the face of this “new disregard for the feelings of two billion Muslims.” The movement stated that the attack reveals the grave danger facing Al-Aqsa under the “extremist right-wing zionist government” and its plans to erase the site’s Islamic and Arab identity. It also highlighted recent calls by Ben-Gvir to displace Gaza’s population as further proof of the government’s criminal nature, which operates under an “unjust American cover.” The movement called on the Muslim world to pressure the “normalizing regimes” that maintain ties with the criminal entity. The Yemeni Armed Forces announced that their drone unit had carried out three precision military operations targeting sites belonging to the occupation, using three unmanned aerial vehicles. In a statement issued on Sunday, Armed Forces spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree confirmed that two of the strikes targeted military installations in Yafa and Askalan, while the third struck the port of Haifa in occupied Palestine.

According to Saree, the operations were launched in solidarity with the Palestinian people and their resistance fighters, and in direct response to the ongoing genocide and starvation campaign being waged by the Israeli occupation against Gaza. The attacks also come in retaliation for repeated incursions by settlers into the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound and the desecration of its sacred grounds.

“Yemen, its loyal people, faithful leadership, and resisting army, will not abandon its religious, moral, and humanitarian responsibilities toward the Palestinian people, the Al-Aqsa Mosque, and Gaza, which continues to suffer under a brutal siege and relentless aggression,” Saree said.

Updates on the Palestinian Resistance

Al Quds Brigades: Our fighters managed on Wednesday to detonate an explosive device pre-planted into a Zionist D9 bulldozer that had penetrated areas of Khan Younis.

At least 13 martyred, 200 wounded after ‘Israeli’ occupation forces opened fire on starving Palestinians waiting for aid near Netzarim base in central Gaza strip.

Dozens of settlers stormed the eastern area of Al-Aqsa Mosque Thursday. This includes Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, accompanied by Argentine President Javier Milei.

The visit included a stop at the al-Buraq Wall, also known as the Western Wall, where both leaders reportedly performed Talmudic rituals.

Zionist Army acknowledged two soldiers were injured by the resistance fighter’s gunfire in Khan Younis, south of Gaza.

Hamas’ Al Qassam Brigades says fighters sniped an ‘Israeli’ soldier east of Absan Al-Kabira in Gaza’s Khan Younis using Al Ghoul sniper fire.

Al Quds Brigades report ongoing intense clashes with ‘Israeli’ occupation forces and vehicles north of Khan Younis.

A unit of Gaza’s Hamas-run police force said it killed 12 members of an Israeli-backed Palestinian militia after detaining them early Thursday. The militia, led by Yasser Abu Shabab, is an ‘Israeli’ proxy in Gaza.

The Al Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad Movement, announced on Monday that its fighters had successfully seized an Israeli drone of the Evo Max type in areas east of the Jabalia refugee camp, in the northern Gaza Strip.

From @ntarnopolsky on Dead🐦 (translating @yairlapid post, also on Dead 🐦):

💥Opposition Leader Yair Lapid: "The festival of hatred and racism in which Jewish teenagers are attacking Arab neighborhoods has become a tradition on Jerusalem Day in the Old City. It is a disgrace and an insult to Judaism. There is nothing Jewish about this violence. The government ministers who remain silent in the face of these events are complicit in this disgrace."

#Israel #FlagDay #JerusalemDay #AlAqsaMosque

1,783 settlers stormed the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque on the fourth day of the so-called Hebrew “Feast of Tabernacles,” compared to 802 who stormed it on the same day last year, while the third day of Feast of Tabernacles last year recorded the highest number at that time, at 1,491.
