Meanwhile, Al-Aqsa Society for reconstructing the Islamic holy sites warned Sunday against the continuation of provocative practices launched by Israeli right-wing mobs inside and around al-Aqsa mosque.
In its statement, the Society said “furthering such actions reiterate the pre-planned intention of such mobs, backed by an Israeli political decision, for violating the sanctuary of the holy mosque."
The warning came days after a mob of Israeli activists from “National Union” party declared Sunday its plan to storm al-Aqsa mosque under the pretext of confirming the Jewish sovereignty over it. (Albawaba.com)
