Jewish gangs brag about storming Al-Aqsa Mosque, praying noisily inside it

[ 18/10/2008 - 09:50 PM ]

Occupied Jerusalem, (PIC)--

The Israeli desecration attempts of Al-Aqsa Mosque have noticeably increased recently as fanatic Jewish groups declared they have stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque and noisily performed a number of Jewish rites inside it.

Zaki Eghbareyya, the chairman of Al-Aqsa Foundation for endowment and heritage, warned of such Jewish attempts, urging Palestinians inside the 1948-occupied lands and in Jerusalem city to frequent the Mosque and to guard it.

On Saturday, extremist Jewish leaders announced that more than six hundred fanatic Jews, including Yehoda Etizion, leader of one of the most fanatic groups that attempted to bomb Al-Aqsa Mosque in the eighties of the past century, have entered the Mosque in two batches under the protection of tens of Israeli occupation soldiers, and celebrated the Jewish Sukkat festival.

According to Eghbareyya, the storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque was a clear Israeli undermining of the 1.5 billion Muslims worldwide, asserting that that it is about time for Muslims to stand up for the defense of the third holiest shrine for Muslims.

Since the city of Jerusalem fell under Israeli occupation, the successive Israeli occupation governments spared no effort in judaizing the city, and in distorting its Muslim and Arab features.

An angry Palestinian intifada (uprising) erupted in the year 2000 after former Israeli premier Ariel Sharon insisted to desecrate the Mosque under the protection of hundreds of IOF troops and policemen.
