Lebanese Hezbollah Denounces Zionists’ Attack on Al-Aqsa Mosque
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Lebanese Hezbollah Resistance Movement in a statement on Monday denounced “the savage attack” on al-Aqsa Mosque by the Zionist regime of Israel’s forces.
“The escalating attacks obviously show the seriousness of the conspiracy which aims at dividing and then destroying the holy mosque,” Hezbollah said in a statement.
Meanwhile, the resistance movement condemned the Arab silence on the attack, warning that this silence is considered as “unconditional surrender to the Zionists’ plots”.
“Hezbollah calls for a wide Arab and Islamic campaign in solidarity with the holy al-Aqsa Mosque,” the statement added.
Israeli forces and Palestinians clashed for the second consecutive day at the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound on Monday, with Israeli troops firing stun grenades and rubber bullets which injured at least one Palestinian.
The clashes come a day after violent confrontations at the holy site on Sunday, during which witnesses said Israeli police entered the Al-Aqsa Mosque and caused damage.
Witnesses told Ma’an news agency that Israeli forces stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound shortly after dawn prayers, firing rubber-coated steel bullets and stun grenades, leading to the injury of several worshipers.
The forces then surrounded worshipers inside Al-Aqsa Mosque and closed its doors with “chains and bars” before firing rubber-coated bullets inside the holy site, witnesses said.
