In a statement, Hamas called on the Palestinian people, the people of Jerusalem, the West Bank and the Occupied Palestinian Territories to mobilize and attend Friday prayers this week at Al-Aqsa Mosque, saying "Friday is the day of victory."
The statement said that this is a challenging message for the occupying regime and its leaders, and a warning to this regime and its army that any harm to Al-Aqsa Mosque and those present is a red line.
According to the Palestinian news agency Safa, Hamas also stressed that we will defend Al-Aqsa Mosque with strength and sacrifice our lives for it, and that the Sword of Jerusalem will remain legitimate to confront the enemy until the liberation of the Palestinian land and sanctuaries and the return of refugees.
