The armed wings of the Palestinian factions in Gaza warned on Tuesday of serious consequences that would ignite the region if Israel did not backtrack on its latest decisions against al-Aqsa Mosque.

 

The factions said in a press conference that they will respond strongly to any Israeli racist scheme targeting the holy site, stressing that Israel will pay a "high price" for any harm done to the Mosque.

 

They praised the steadfast people of Quds ('Jerusalem'), the defenders of al-Aqsa Mosque, and called on Palestinians in the West Bank and the 1948 occupied territories to intensify their presence at the Mosque and protect it by all means.

 

Friday prayer at al-Aqsa Mosque was banned on 14th July following a shootout between three Palestinian youths and the Israeli troopers in the compound. Two Israeli officers, in addition to the three Palestinians, were killed.

 

A decision was issued later to close the Old City of Quds and ban prayer at the Mosque until further notice for the first time since 1969.

 

On Sunday, the Israeli authorities started to reopen the site gradually after installing metal detectors at its gates which Muslim worshipers refused to pass through.
