Throughout the year, Al-Aqsa passes through 4 stages of aggression launched against it by the “Temple” groups with unlimited support from the Zionist occupation authorities, and the “Remembrance of the Destruction of the Temple” aggression is the third of these stations. 

The date of the “Remembrance of the Destruction of the Temple” this year coincides with the anniversary of the victory of the Gift of the Lions’ Gate, on the day and date, which gives this day more symbolism in the confrontation with the Zionist occupation in Al-Aqsa. 

The aggression this year comes in light of the escalating internal crisis in the occupation, which suffered a kind of defeat in the recent wave of confrontation in Jenin. The occupation government is haunted by the idea of achieving electoral gains among its constituencies from the Zionist right, while the Zionist security level is still subject to its assessments of the situation. This is through the participation of hundreds of Shin Bet officers and members in the raids on Al-Aqsa during the past weeks.

The “Temple” groups are suffering from a crisis in mobilizing for the raids, and therefore they began to prepare for the aggression through several steps, but it is noticeable that they did not announce a numerical ceiling for the attackers of Al-Aqsa, as they were accustomed to doing, but they resorted to a dangerous strategy, which is the late announcement of their goals, so they announced About a preparatory conference for the aggression in the “Neria Synagogue” in the “Talmon” settlement, northwest of Ramallah, on Tuesday, 7/25/2023, and this was preceded by its announcement of a “flags march” on Wednesday evening, 5/25/2023, targeting the Old City and the Al-Aqsa gates. 

In an effort to confront the aggression, Palestinian and Jerusalemite popular calls continued to seclude themselves in Al-Aqsa on Wednesday evening, which coincides with the “Nineteenth Night.” The calls focused on the necessity of being in Al-Aqsa on Thursday morning, and it is notable that these calls were modest. Until this moment, the parties calling for seclusion and seclusion were limited to Directly on the Jerusalemite youth movement. Are we on the verge of an expanded aggression against Al-Aqsa, next Thursday morning?!
