Tomorrow, Monday, marks the 54th anniversary of the sinful attempt to burn down the Blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, which took place on August 21, 1969, and was carried out by the Zionist Dennis Michael Rohan.
“Dennis Michael Rohan” is an Australian Zionist, and he is obsessed with the ideas of the “Happy Millennium” and the “Theory of the Works of God,” which the Zionist settlement gangs and those who support them in the United States and various Western countries agree on today. He went to Al-Aqsa Mosque after reading an article by Zionists about what he knows. In the “Bulletin of the International Church of God,” which stated: “A Jewish temple will be built in the city of Jerusalem, and sacrifices will be slaughtered in this temple again during the next four and a half years.”
“Rohan” used a highly flammable incendiary substance in his sinful attempt to burn down Al-Aqsa Mosque. The attempt was concentrated in the Al-Qibli prayer hall, and came upon the pulpit that Saladin Al-Ayyubi brought to Al-Aqsa after its liberation from the Frankish occupiers.
The occupation’s complicity with “Rohan” appeared when water was cut off from the Old City and its neighboring neighborhoods, so Jerusalemites rushed with their clothes and buckets of water from what was left in their homes to extinguish Al-Aqsa Mosque, and fire trucks from Hebron and Bethlehem rushed to help extinguish the fire, despite the occupation forces’ barriers and obstruction of operations. Extinguishing.
The Zionist occupation claimed that the fire was caused by an electrical short circuit, but when “Rohan” was discovered by eyewitnesses and Palestinian engineers who confirmed that the fire was arson, the occupation police arrested “Rohan” and claimed that he was “imbecile” and was returned to Australia.
Today, 54 years after this sinful attempt, the fire is still targeting Al-Aqsa, but in different ways. Here the occupation authorities have been preventing its restoration for about 7 years, and surrounding it with Judaization plans, while the arms of the occupation are racing against time to implement plans to Judaize Al-Aqsa in various ways, such as temporal and spatial division and “ The moral foundation of the temple.”
For more than 54 years, Al-Aqsa has been waiting for someone to extinguish the flames of the fire that is lurking in it.
