"Israeli" MK Storms into Dome of Rock, Officer Desecrates Holy Quran

Local Editor

The "Israel" desecration to al-Aqsa Holy mosque continues. However, this time "Israel" crossed all limits.

According to news agencies, the"Israeli" Knesset member, Moshe Feiglin, accompanied by "Israeli" police stormed the holy mosque in Occupied al-Quds and reached the Dome of the Rock, the 1st step of this level since 1967.

In details, around 50 heavily armed "Israeli" policemen stormed the Dome of the Rock in a provocative step for the Palestinians and Muslims.
Meanwhile, dozens of worshipers and Palestinians remain confronting the "Israeli" occupation forces' attempts to attack the Holy site.

Hours earlier, an "Israeli" soldier kicked and stepped on the noble Quran in al-Aqsa mosque after assaulting several young Palestinian girls who were reciting the Muslim holy book in the courtyards of Islam's third holiest shrine.

"One of the "Israeli" officers located inside the courtyards of al-Aqsa Mosque attacked two students from a girls' school near Buraq Mosque next to the Mughrabi Gate," Mahmoud Abu Atta, the media department chief at Al-Aqsa Foundation for Endowment and Heritage revealed.

The incident occurred early on Sunday when an "Israeli" soldier attacked a group of Palestinian girls who were reciting Quran in a circle-reading session.
One of the Palestinian girls said they were sitting near al-Magharbeh gate, when an "Israeli" police officer came and asked them to move away from the area.
She added that they had moved away farther from the gate, but after they've started reading out loud the officer attacked the group after kicking the holy Quran to ground.

"He threw the noble Quran to the ground and stepped on it," the crying young girl was quoted as saying by the Foundation
Al-Aqsa is the Muslims' first Qiblah [direction Muslims take during prayers] and it is the third holiest shrine .
Condemning the attack, al-Aqsa foundation demanded a quick response to defend al-Aqsa mosque against repeated "Israeli" aggressions.
"There is no place for occupation and its soldiers in al-Aqsa mosque and al-Quds," it added in its statement.

The Arab League has also strongly condemned the incident.

Assistant Secretary-General of Arab League Ambassador Mohamed Sobeih told reporters that what happened is not directed to the people of al-Quds or the Palestinian people alone, but a message to the Arab and Islamic nations as well.
He called for a unified and firm stance of the Arab and Islamic nation against the attacks and the situation in al-Quds.
