Khaled Meshaal, head of Hamas's external bureau, warned that the Al-Aqsa mosque faces an unprecedented threat, according to Shehab Wire. Meshaal called for exceptional mobilization to protect the Jerusalem holy site, which has been a flashpoint for Israeli-Palestinian tensions.
The warning comes amid recurring confrontations at the mosque compound in occupied East Jerusalem, where Israeli forces have repeatedly entered the grounds during raids and operations.
