Today, Saturday, the Lebanese Hezbollah expressed its condemnation of the Israeli army and police forces storming the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque and attacking worshipers.
Hezbollah published a statement of solidarity with the worshipers and the Palestinians who were injured, yesterday, Friday morning, broadcast by Al-Manar TV, while they were in the Al-Aqsa Mosque, in which it declared its solidarity with them, expressing its condemnation of “the aggressive Israeli practices against Jerusalemites, its abuse and destruction of their property.”
Hezbollah affirmed its “solidarity with the Palestinian people who are rising in occupied Jerusalem and defending the sanctity of Al-Aqsa,” praising its courage and heroic defiance of the “Israeli terror” machine.
The Lebanese party stressed that “what the occupation forces have done is a serious violation of the sanctity of Al-Aqsa Mosque, affecting the feelings of more than a billion Muslims and provoking all the free people in the world.”
Hezbollah called on the Arab League, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, and Arab and Islamic countries and peoples to carry out their religious and moral duties towards such Israeli practices, which it described as “terrorist” and to support the Jerusalemites and provide them with all possible forms of support.
Yesterday, the Israeli forces stormed the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque, and dozens of Palestinians who were present since the early morning hours to perform Friday prayers confronted them.
A large number of Palestinian worshipers were hit with rubber-coated metal bullets and tear gas.
The Palestinian Red Crescent in Jerusalem said, in a statement, “152 injuries have so far been transferred from Al-Aqsa Mosque to Al-Makassed Hospital and the Red Crescent field hospital, and a few injuries were treated in the field. The injuries were rubber, sound bombs, and beatings.”
