The deputy leader of Hamas, Saleh al-Aruri, was interviewed this evening (Thursday) on the Al-Aqsa channel of the terrorist organization, and provided his explanation for the arrest of the Jews who wanted to sacrifice a Passover sacrifice on the Temple Mount. In the last day, the Israeli police arrested six “returning to the mountain” activists, who planned to reach the Temple Mount on Friday in order to make a sacrifice.
Al-Aruri claimed in an interview that Israel had sent a message to his organization through a number of different mediators, that it was arresting Jews who wanted to make sacrifices on the Temple Mount, and that it was not interested in escalation. He further said that the peak of “enemy” aggression is the plan to make sacrifices in the al-Aqsa compound and therefore the Palestinians are revolting everywhere, especially in Jerusalem and al-Aqsa.
Earlier in the day, al-Aruri referred to the activities of the security forces in the Palestinian villages of Judea and Samaria, and called on the Palestinians in Judea and Samaria to intensify their confrontations with Israel: “We call on the Palestinians, The points of friction in support of the village of Silwad. “
Six activists were arrested after planning to make a Passover sacrifice
A movement returning to the mountain announced earlier today that in the last 24 hours, six activists who had planned to reach the Temple Mount on Friday and try to make a Passover sacrifice, and even offered monetary compensation for those who stopped on their way to the mountain, were arrested. The last two arrested in the afternoon were later released on restrictive conditions. The rest will remain under full house arrest until Sunday and will be removed from the Temple Mount for 14 days.
Last night, two activists were arrested at their home. One of the detainees is the movement’s chairman, Rafael Morris, who was arrested with the goat he owns, even though he was without a proper order which approves of taking him, according to the return movement to Mt.
The circular movement said that “the Israeli police have decided to de facto surrender to terrorist threats and instead of dealing with terrorists are trying to sew bags for Jews. We call on everyone who can, to reach the Temple Mount on Friday and sacrifice the Passover sacrifice this year.”
