Once again Jews visiting their holiest site has angered Palestinian jihadis. The Islamic terror group Hamas fired a rocket on early Thursday after Israel’s National Security Minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, and other Israeli Jews visited Jerusalem’s Temple Mount on the Jewish fasting holiday of Tisha B’Av. “Hamas claims to fire rocket from Jenin in response to Ben-Gvir’s visit to Temple Mount,” i24NEWS reported Thursday.
The rocket was fired from the Palestinian Authority-controlled town of Jenin and failed to reach its intended target — Israeli communities living in the Judea and Samaria region. The Hamas-linked “‘al-Ayyash Brigades’ terrorist group claimed to have again fired a rocket toward Israeli territory on Thursday morning,” the Jerusalem Post reported.
Hamas spokesman Hazem Kassem described peaceful Jews visiting their holiest site as “raids” on the Temple Mount, and amounted to an “an escalation of the religious war the occupation is waging against Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa.” He added that Palestinians “will protect Al-Aqsa’s identity as an Islamic mosque at any cost.”
The Biden State Department joined Hamas and Arab Muslim countries in condemning an Israeli minister’s visit to Judaism’s holiest site. “The U.S. Embassy in Israel condemned the visit, stating that it stands “firmly for the preservation of the historic status quo with respect to the holy sites in Jerusalem,” and that “any unilateral action or rhetoric that jeopardizes the status quo is unacceptable,” the leftwing Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported.
“Palestinian group claims to fire rocket from Jenin area at northern Israel town,” by Emanuel Fabian, Times of Israel, July 27, 2023:
Palestinians in the northern West Bank attempted to launch a homemade rocket at a nearby Israeli town on Thursday morning, the military said, the latest in a series of mostly unsuccessful attempts.
A group calling itself the Al-Ayyash Battalion — apparently named for a notorious Hamas bombmaker killed by Israel — claimed it had launched the rocket from the Jenin area at the Israeli town of Ram-On, which borders the West Bank security barrier.
A video published by the group on Telegram showed a projectile mounted on a launcher, before it was apparently launched.
The Israel Defense Forces said that troops located the remains of the rocket in Palestinian-controlled territory, near the town of Silat al-Harithiya, saying that it had not crossed the border into Israel. (…)
Al-Ayyash Battalion has claimed to have launched several rockets at settlements and towns in northern Israel in recent months, publishing footage of the attempts.

Get a life, moslems.
Eva says
It’s OUR Temple Mount!!!
The moslems have no place there, and they certainly shouldn’t have any kind of control over our holiest site.
Israel, take back control!!!
࿗Infidel࿘ says
I’m not Jewish, but I completely endorse & support your claims to not just Temple Mount, but every sq mm of land in Judea & Samaria. It doesn’t belong to muslims: it belongs to you!
FYI says
Of course the Temple Mount belongs to the Jews.
According to the quran,so does ISRAEL.
“Oh my people!Go into the Holy land which allah hath ordained for you”
koran 5;21
And the people who have the right to live in israel?
“And we said unto the Children of Israel,afterhim;DWELL IN THE LAND but when the promise of the hereafter comes to pass,we shall bring you as a crowd gathered out of various nations”
koran 17:104
The Jews,not the palestinians.
FYI says
And when hamas are firing rockets into Israel they are attacking the Holy Land,a land which according to the quran….belongs to Israel!
muslims can never claim that their god allah is on their side:he can’t be if he confirms the right of the Jews to dwell in the land of Israel.
The Jews have a Biblical and koranic right to DWELL IN THE HOLY LAND OF ISRAEL.
The palestinians have NO sanction whatsoever to dwell in the holy land.
if allah was the same as the Biblical God the muslims would have respected the Temple Mount.So instead they build their triumphalist mosque on it.
But allah comes from the kaaba{hu baal..baal..}

As if Hamas needed any excuse to launch missiles at Israel?
Walter Sieruk says
The jihadists of Hamas are so very dangerous and murderous that they reflect the Bible’s teaching. Which reads “The hearts of men are full of evil and madness and after they dies they go to the place the dead.” Ecclesiastes 9:3.
Likewise, in the New Testament Romans 3:15-17 rather well describes the character and behavior of the hostile malicious jihadist savages of Hamas. As they are similar to villains in ancient times.
For it reads “Their feet are swift to shed blood; destruction and misery are in their ways; and the way of peace they have not known.” [N.K.J.V.]
Walter Sieruk says
That aggressive and hostile Islamic regime supports and funds Hamas to launch missiles to murder Israeli citizens. The officials of the State of Israel comprehend this then strike back, for brute force is the only language that the jihadists are able to understand. Just like a common criminal, the Iran’s Muslim tyrants refuse to accept that they are the ones that cause Israel to strike back. Therefore, that “mullah tyranny” launches further terrors strike against Israel for “revenge.” Even though they stated it all.
Iran’s mullah president Rouhani along with Ayatollah Ali Khamenei with their despicable words with his brainwash and then get the Iranian people all worked up until they chant, over and over again, “Death to Israel.”
Ayatollah Khamenei is so ignorant that he neither knows nor understand that that all his Muslim stooge terror organization Hamas are fated to fail in their Islamic agenda of destroying the State of Israel and replacing with Islamic “state.” The reason that they will lose in the end and lose hard is because the members of Hamas are striving against the Will of God. The members of Hamas might be too ignorant to know this; nevertheless, the truth is the God had given all land that now composes the State of Israel, including all of the West Bank, to the Jewish people. This may be found in the Bible, as seen in, for example, Genesis 28:13-15. 35:10-12. Deuteronomy 32:48,49. Psalm 105:7-11. 135:4. In other words the Jews have all this land by Divine Right. Furthermore, the Jewish people should have this land by historic rights as shown in First Kings 4:20,21, 24,25. 8:55, 56.
Still, in all fairness, there is one way for Khamenei and Iran’s Revolutionary Guards along with the Muslim members Hamas to convince God to change His Mind about being so much for Israel and then cause Him to turn His back on Israel and then have that nation be no more.
That way is for the members of the jihad organizations ,including Hamas, to gather together and then change the laws of astrophysics, including those laws of astrophysics the control the sun, the moon and the stars. For God had declared in His Word, the Bible, in Jeremiah 31:35,36. “Thus saith the Lord, Who gives the sun for a light by day and the ordinances of the moon and stars for a light by night…The Lord of host is His name. If those ordinances depart from before Me, saith the Lord, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before Me forever.”
Walter Sieruk says
It shouldn’t be forgotten and always kept in mind that the use of a strong power on military might is important and necessary to send the hostile and murderous jihadists of Hamas a message to stop engage rocket jihad terrorism in the only language the they are able to understand , which is the message of brute force of airstrikes on Hamas bases.
There is a problem caused by the Hamas terrorists which is that those despicable jihadists of Hamas deliberately hide among the civilians using them as “human shields.”
Therefore is innocent civilians are killed in the airstrikes is the fault of Hamas.
