JERUSALEM, July 28, 2015
(WAFA) – An Israeli Jewish settler Tuesday cursed Prophet Mohammad of Islam
during a tour by Jewish hardliners in Jerusalem’s
al-Aqsa Mosque compound, an act deemed highly disrespectful, prohibited and
provocative, according to local sources.
Earlier Monday, settlers assaulted a Palestinian bus driver
identified as Mohammad Barakat from Jerusalem
by spraying pepper gas at his face and body, causing him severe irritation in
his eyes and skin.
This came only two days after dozens of Muslim worshipers
were injured during clashes, which erupted after groups of Jewish hardliners
broke into the Islamic holy site to mark Tisha B’Av holiday.
Clashes at the site on Sunday took place after Jewish
settler groups, known as ‘Temple
Mount’ organizations,
made calls urging all Jewish settlers to storm the holy site to mark Tisha B’Av
Day, a Jewish holiday commemorating the destruction of temples according to the
Jewish belief.
The organizations reportedly demanded that al-Aqsa Mosque
compound be entirely closed to Muslims starting Saturday evening and all day
Sunday. They also requested the holy site to be closed to Muslims during
proposed Israeli tour hours from 7:30 to 11:30 a.m. from Monday to Thursday
next week.
Prior to this, Israeli police deployed heavily in and around
al-Aqsa following tensions surrounding a video filmed last Thursday in which a
Jewish woman leaving the Temple Mount compound after a visit was recorded
insulting Prophet Mohammad, calling him a “pig.”
In response to the Israeli escalation of violence at the
holy site Sunday, the government said in a following statement that renewed
assaults by Israeli settlers and police against al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem proves Israel’s intent to drag the entire
region into a religious war.
It said that Israel’s ongoing attacks against al-Aqsa Mosque
was part of Israel’s attempts to divert international attention away from its
ongoing violations against the Palestinian people, its theft of land and
construction of illegal settlements, and its blockade on Gaza.
