Palestinian Official: ’Israel’ Planning to Destroy Al-Aqsa via Drone

Mahmoud al-Habash, formerly the Palestinian Authority [PA] Minister of Religious Affairs and now a consultant to PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, warned that that the Zionist entity is planning to blow up the al-Aqsa Holy Mosque in Occupied al-Quds.

Habash cited that a tiny aircraft equipped with a camera continues to hover over the mosque.
The plot to bomb Al-Aqsa is being planned by “extremist Jewish organizations” and may be carried out by launching a drone with a large amount of explosives or a small plane being flown by a Zionist suicide bomber.

Habash called on the international community and the Arab and Muslim world to immediately intervene to save the mosque from the impending danger and to force the “Israeli occupation” to stop its “crimes” against the holy places to Islam in Palestine.

In addition, he called on Arabs and Muslims all over the world come to Occupied al-Quds to protect it from the “occupation” which seeks to Judaize the Holy city.
This comes as “Israel” seeks to demolish the mosque in order to build a Holy Temple in its place.

Meanwhile, a total of 1396 “Israeli” settlers and policemen have forcibly stormed the Mosque compound since the beginning of June, a Palestinian NGO reported Thursday.
“There has been a marked surge in the number of “Israelis” breaking into the mosque compound this month compared with the previous month,” the al-Aqsa Foundation for Endowment and Heritage said in a statement.

It added that 1197 settlers, 62 “Israeli” intelligence personnel and 137 soldiers had entered the mosque compound since June 1.
The NGO called on Arabs and Muslims to shoulder “their responsibilities toward the mosque,” calling for urgent steps to protect the iconic house of worship from the “”Israeli” escalations.”
