Thousands salute the great dawn in Al-Aqsa 

Today, Friday, thousands of worshipers saluted the “Great Dawn” in the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque in the occupied city of Jerusalem and the Ibrahimi Mosque in the city of Hebron, south of the occupied West Bank, stressing their protection from the plans of the occupation and its settlers.

Since dawn, the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque witnessed a massive presence of the people of Jerusalem and the Palestinian interior occupied in 1948, and those from the West Bank who were able to reach the mosque.

It included paragraphs of a spiritual and advocacy atmosphere during the dawn prayer, including reading the Qur’an, various preaching sermons, and holding dhikr circles.

After the dawn prayer, hundreds of worshipers at Al-Aqsa held the intention of bonding there, and their bond usually continues until the Friday or evening prayers are performed, and some of them continue their bond for Friday and Saturday.

In a related context, dozens of young men, men and women, performed the Friday dawn prayer at the gates of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque after the occupation forces prevented them from entering it.

The Israeli occupation forces deployed extensively at the gates of Al-Aqsa Mosque, and prevented hundreds of young men from entering to perform the dawn prayer.

Al-Aqsa was subjected to a blatant attack last Tuesday, when the so-called extremist Israeli Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben Gvir, stormed the courtyards of the mosque.

Al-Aqsa Mosque is exposed to many dangers, as a result of increasing settler incursions during Jewish holidays and the implementation of Talmudic rituals that desecrate its courtyards.

The Endowments Department in Jerusalem said that about 50,000 settlers stormed the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque in 2022, which is the highest since the start of the settlers’ incursions into Al-Aqsa.

Jerusalemite calls for widespread participation and mobilization in the “For the Great Dawn” campaign were launched today, Friday, January 6, 2023, in the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque.

The calls stressed the importance of broad participation in holding the dawn prayer tomorrow, Friday, at Al-Aqsa Mosque, in response to the settlers’ desecration of the mosque, and the attempts to impose new Judaizing facts, the latest of which was the storming of Al-Aqsa by the extremist minister in the occupation government, Itamar Ben Gvir.

Those stationed in the Blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque issued calls to the families of Jerusalem and all the people of the city regarding the necessity of crowding in the Blessed Mosque and intensifying the presence there to protect it from the settlers.

The “Great Dawn” campaign was launched for the first time from the Ibrahimi Mosque in November 2020, to confront the dangers facing the mosque and the repeated incursions of the occupation forces and settlers into it, and then moved to Al-Aqsa Mosque.
