A group of Palestinian women staged a rally in Al-Aqsa mosque on Friday, condemning the desecration of the Quran in the mosque by a Zionist army officer.
They held up copies of the Quran and chanted slogans against the Quran sacrelige, Ma’an news agency reported.
The protestors also condemned the occupation forces’ move to prevent Palestinian women from entering the Al-Aqsa Mosques in the past four months.
The Palestinian Council of Awqaf and Islamic Sanctities has also condemned the Israeli move, describing it as unjustifiable and disgraceful.
On Sunday, March 3, Israeli forces stormed a session of Qur'an recitation in Al-Aqsa Mosque in the West Bank, when a Zionist soldier stepped on a copy of Islam’s holy book.
It was not the first time that Israelis desecrate Muslim sanctities. Israeli forces and settlers have on numerous occasions attacked mosques and religious sites in the occupied Palestinian territories.
