Ridwan: 3rd Aqsa intifada only a matter of time

Gaza- Minister of Awkaf and religious affairs in the Gaza government Dr. Ismail Ridwan has denounced the Israeli intelligence for raiding the holy Aqsa Mosque in occupied Jerusalem.

Ridwan warned of the seriousness of the repeated storming of the Aqsa Mosque in a press release on Wednesday.

He said that a third Aqsa intifada was only a matter of time, adding that the intifada was getting nearer with each raid on the holy site.

The minister said that any attack on the Aqsa Mosque was considered an attack on the entire Islamic Nation and on its dignity.

Ridwan asked the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, the Arab League, and each concerned party to assume their responsibilities toward the holy city.

Around 15 Israeli intelligence agents and a group of settlers broke into the Aqsa Mosque on Wednesday morning and toured its various courtyards.
