Palestinian Ministers Urges Muslim Scholars to Take Stance against Attacks on Al-Aqsa
Speaking in a press conference on Sunday, Sheikh Adeis also called on international organizations to fulfill their responsibilities of defending religious sites.
Sheikh Muhammad Hussein, the grand Mufti of Quds and Palestine also issued a statement yesterday urging Arab and Muslim countries, the Arab League, Organization of Islamic Cooperation, and international bodies to act in defense of al-Aqsa Mosque.
He underlined that Zionist officials must be prosecuted for the attacks on the mosque and crack down on Palestinian worshippers.
The senior cleric warned that the continuation of Israeli aggressions against Palestinian sanctities, including al-Aqsa, could turn the region into a ticking bomb.
Earlier in the day, Israelis broke into the al-Aqsa compound and got engaged in violent clashes with Palestinians.
Tel Aviv forces stormed the al-Aqsa compound and closed its gates after an eruption of the clashes between Palestinian Muslim worshipers and Israelis.
Israeli soldiers fired sound bombs inside the compound and attacked Muslim worshipers. In response, the Palestinians threw stones at the Israeli soldiers in an effort to prevent them from storming into the complex.
Dozens of worshipers were injured and at least 6 of them were detained by Israeli forces. Many of them also suffered from suffocation due to teargas inhalation.
Israeli illegal settlers, backed by Israeli forces, frequently force their way into the al-Aqsa Mosque compound, which usually ends up in clashes.
