⋯ Help me understand, did Zionists just wake up today on a Friday in Ramadan and decide to assault the 1st Islamic Qibla and the 2nd most holy place in Islam, and assault both men and women because that was something rational to do? That is something de-escalatory?

⋯ Ex-chairman of the United Temple Movement, Rabbi Yaacov Hayman:

“The Temple Mount has only two options. Muslim violence and Hamas flags... or the Passover sacrifice. There is nothing in between and we are the ones who decide. Let's pray this is the last year we don't choose well.”

⋯ Two hours ago, Zionist Jewish extremists were marching towards Al-Aqsa Mosque.

⋯ ☦ Archbishop Atallah Hannah (speaking to Al-Mayadeen):

“An attack on Al-Aqsa Mosque is also an attack on the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.”

“The Church of the Holy Sepulchre and all churches of Jerusalem sees what's happening in Al-Aqsa as an attack on all of Palestine. National unity is how we can fight back against aggression and oppression. This land is ours and we will not surrender to the occupiers.”

“Every palestinian is targeted and holidays, Christian or Islamic, are not excluded from this targeting. Bringing sacrifices to Al-Aqsa is seemingly religious but the reality is that it is done to provoke the feelings of the Palestinians.”

Beirut: Hezbullah and Amal's local leadership met to discuss the social pandemic of theft and lawlessness in several areas in southern Beirut in light of the total absence of the Lebanese security forces.

It was agreed to perform day and night patrols and arrest the thieves, drug dealers, etc.

They also called on the Lebanese security forces to uphold their duty and obligations, and on the people to support the security forces in their duties.

Happy Easter in the Catholic calendar.

⋯ Before 8 a.m., in spite of the tense situation, the Israeli Police let a hundred Jews enter the compound of Al-Aqsa Mosque.

They were dancing and singing, while a large number of Palestinians were being forced out of the compound in the meantime by the occupation forces.

⋯ Clashes erupted when the settlers arrived.

⋯ 🚨 To make way for settlers, Palestinian women were trapped inside by the occupation forces.
