Palestinians Call for ’Day of Rage’ against ’Israeli’ Aggressions at al-Aqsa

Local Editor

Palestinian groups once again called for a "Day of Rage" on Friday in solidarity with occupied Al-Quds and the al-Aqsa mosque, as "Israeli" authorities announced a day earlier that they would prevent Palestinian men under 35 from entering the al-Aqsa compound for Friday prayers while allowing Zionist settlers into the holy site undisturbed.

Hamas and Islamic Jihad issued separate statements on Thursday calling on Palestinians to take to the streets following Friday prayers "in solidarity with the al-Aqsa Mosque."

Palestinian resistance movement Hamas called on Palestinians in the occupied West Bank to take to the streets on Friday to show support for both occupied Al-Quds and the al-Aqsa Mosque.

In a statement, the group called for holding "marches of anger" after the weekly Friday prayers near the points where "Israeli" army troops are stationed in the occupied West Bank.

One of the marches would head to Qalandiya military checkpoint between Ramallah and occupied Al-Quds, and another would head to the central al-Khalil neighborhood of Bab al-Zawiya, the release said. A third one would be staged in central Nablus in northern occupied West Bank, it added.

Additionally, an Islamic Jihad leader, Mohammad al-Harrazin, meanwhile said in a statement that the movement's agenda focuses on "mobilizing and recruiting" the public in support of occupied Al-Quds.
Al-Harrazin added that a popular revolution is necessary in order to counter the "Israeli" threats and violations, calling upon Palestinians to organize marches expressing rage and to defend and protect occupied Al-Quds, Al-Aqsa and all holy sites.

Late Thursday, "Israeli" police announced they would prevent Palestinian men under 35 from entering the al-Aqsa compound for Friday prayers, while allowing Zionist settlers into the holy site undisturbed.

"Israeli" forces have long restricted Palestinians' access to the al-Aqsa compound based on age and gender, but have further prevented Muslim worshipers from entering the mosque for more than a month while facilitating the entrance to Zionist extremists.
