JERUSALEM, October 10, 2013 (WAFA) – Israeli fanatics along
with members of the ruling Likud party Thursday carried out several provocative
tours of Al-Aqsa Mosque, an Islamic holy place in Jerusalem’s Old City, under
heavy police protection following calls to hold Jewish rituals in the Mosque
compound to celebrate the Jewish event, said witnesses.
Israeli right wing groups called on their Jewish members to
be on the yards of al-Aqsa Mosque to celebrate a Jewish event.
In response, several Palestinian religious and nationalist
institutions in Jerusalem called on Palestinians to intensify their presence in
the mosque to make sure Israelis do not attempt to hold any prayer ritual or
enter the built areas such as al-Aqsa Mosque or the Dome of the Rock.
Three Palestinian worshipers were arrested while trying to
prevent Israelis from holding prayer on the mosque yards,
