Hamas spokesperson in occupied Jerusalem Mohammed Hamada confirmed that the Israeli occupation’s targeting of Palestinian defenders of occupied Jerusalem and the Al-Aqsa Mosque comes to facilitate the colonial settlers’ mass incursions into the Mosque set to take place in the coming days as part of the so-called Jewish holidays.

Hamada added the Israeli occupation restrictions on and targeting of the Palestinians in occupied Jerusalem are failed attempts to break the Palestinian people’s will.

Hailing the Palestinians’ courageous stances in defending the Al-Aqsa Mosque and occupied Jerusalem, he called on the Palestinian citizens of the occupied West Bank, Jerusalem, and the 1948-occupied territories to stand against the colonial settlers’ planned storming of the blessed Mosque.
