According to reports from the Palestinian news agency Shehab, Hamas issued a statement on the first Friday of Ramadan, condemning the Israeli regime’s actions against worshippers at Al-Aqsa Mosque. As Israeli occupation forces prevent Palestinians from entering the mosque and obstruct thousands from performing prayers on this significant day, Hamas emphasizes the need for continued public mobilization and increased presence at the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque. This is crucial for reaping the spiritual benefits of Ramadan and safeguarding the mosque from the plots of occupiers and settlers.The statement highlights that the occupying Israeli regime deliberately seeks to humiliate Palestinian worshippers through intensified military actions and ongoing violations. These measures include restricting the number of worshippers to approximately ten thousand and imposing arbitrary restrictions on Palestinian entry under various pretexts, which blatantly violates the freedom of worship and represents a clear attempt to impose a reality of Judaization at Al-Aqsa.Hamas asserts that the continuous barriers erected by the occupiers and their actions aimed at reducing the number of worshippers will not succeed in breaking the will of the Palestinian people. They will not be deterred from attending the first qibla of Muslims and the third holiest site in Islam.The statement further urges all those who have access to Al-Aqsa Mosque to defend it against the growing threats surrounding it by attending in person.Hamas also calls upon the Palestinian people in Jerusalem and the occupied territories to utilize the days of Ramadan to thwart the Judaization schemes that the occupiers and settlers have launched against Islamic sanctities. It is essential to reaffirm the historical and religious rights of the Palestinian people regarding Al-Aqsa Mosque.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
