OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)-- 148 settlers, accompanied by former MK Michael Ben-Ari and Likud activist Yehuda Clik and guarded by the occupation forces, stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque on Tuesday morning.
Al-Aqsa Foundation for waqf and Heritage reported in a statement that some Jewish organizations called on the Israelis to storm Al-Aqsa Mosque to celebrate their Shavuot holiday, which falls on Wednesday and Thursday.
These organizations have published via their websites ads calling for holding the celebration ceremony inside Al-Aqsa Mosque, with the participation of a number of rabbis, and said that the MK Moshe Feiglin will participate in Thursday's ceremonies.
Al-Aqsa Foundation also noted that the Israeli campaign against Al-Aqsa Mosque has escalated, pointing to MK Mordechai Eugev's remarks that demand building a synagogue in the southern part of Al-Aqsa Mosque.
For his part; Sheikh Kamal Khatib, deputy head of the Islamic movement in the Palestinian 1948-occupied territories, said the repeated raids in Al-Aqsa Mosque have escalated in an unprecedented way.
Meanwhile, Sheikh Raed Salah, head of the Islamic movement in the Palestinian territories, described the demolition of the road to the Mughrebi gate in the beginning of 2007 by the occupation as a heinous crime against Al-Aqsa Mosque and a declaration of war on all the Arab and Islamic world.
Sheikh Salah said that the occupation has been attacking for dozens of times Al-Aqsa Mosque and the worshipers, killing dozens of them and wounding hundreds.
Sheikh Raed Salah's statements came during his testimony in the deliberation session in a file of a Friday sermon he had delivered in Wadi Joz in 2007, and after which the occupation had submitted an indictment against him on charges of inciting to racism and hatred.
The defense team demanded in Monday's session the judge to reject the indictment, but she refused.
Lawyer Mohamed Suleiman Egbariya, as an eyewitness who took part in the Friday sermon mentioned, confirmed that during the sermon Sheikh Salah had talked about the issue of Al-Aqsa mosque, and that the site where the sermon had been delivered had not witnessed violence, as claimed by the prosecution.
After listening to the testimonies the judge appointed another hearing on July 14, 2013.
