(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Sheikh Ra'ed Salah, head of the Islamic Movement in the 1948 occupied lands, urged the Palestinians to defend all of their mosques in the occupied territories against the Israeli violations and not to neglect them.
His remarks came in response to the Israeli decision to demolish the female section of Mohamed Al-Fateh Mosque in Ras Al-Amoud district in occupied Jerusalem.
"Primarily, we should defend the Aqsa Mosque and then its branches. Mohamed Al-Fateh Mosque in Ras Al-Amoud district is an offshoot of the Aqsa Mosque that we have to retreat to and rise up for, and we have to do the same thing with Silwan Mosque, which faces a demolition threat, and Okasha Mosque in Jerusalem," Sheikh Salah highlighted in his khutba (sermon) yesterday at Mohamed Al-Fateh Mosque.
He also called on the Jerusalemite people to be patient and steadfast until a great victory is bestowed upon them by the Providence.
Hundreds of Palestinians from Jerusalem and the 1948 occupied lands attended the Friday kutba and prayers at Mohamed Al-Fateh Mosque, while a number of Israeli soldiers and policemen were deployed outside.
