The Feast of Shavuot and Al-Aqsa - Wine, bread, and blood inside a settler’s bag in the Dome of the Rock courtyard
This Monday morning, Al-Aqsa Mosque witnessed a dangerous incursion by four extremist settlers, coinciding with the so-called "Shavuot” holiday. The settlers stormed the Dome of the Rock courtyard from the northern side, carrying a bag containing a cup of wine, fresh bread, and a piece of cloth stained with blood.
During the morning and afternoon incursions, 985 extremists entered Al-Aqsa Mosque through the Dung Gate, whose keys have been controlled by the occupation authorities since the occupation of Jerusalem. They performed collective and public prayers, and the sounds of their rituals rose inside Al-Aqsa. The four settlers were part of a group of settlers who stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque. Upon arriving in the northern area, opposite the Dome of the Rock and on the outskirts of the courtyard, they held a public prayer there. They then quickly advanced toward the Dome of the Rock, carrying a bag. They were on their way to the Dome of the Chain. One of them was wearing priestly garb, which is used for prayer and sacrifice.
One of the settlers managed to open the wine container before being confronted.
It is worth noting that the location the settlers were heading toward today, toward the Dome of the Chain Mosque, east of the Dome of the Rock, is believed by some to be the site of the alleged "altar" for the construction of the Temple. This is the same location where "Temple" groups published an artificial intelligence image showing the legendary biblical altar erected at the site of the Dome of the Chain Mosque. The image shows a group of "Temple priests" lighting a fire in preparation for an animal sacrifice. The image also depicts the Dome of the Rock with the Israeli flag and a lamb raised in a symbolic scene published during the Jewish Passover holiday last April.
Al-Aqsa Mosque guards immediately confronted the settlers and were able to stop them and prevent them from continuing their violations.
During the settlers' storming of the roof of the Dome of the Rock, the group accompanying them, which stood on the northern side of the roof, sang, clapped, and chanted, "We will rebuild the holy shrine."
Extremist "Temple" groups called for more intruders during the morning and afternoon raids, with announced attempts to offer plant sacrifices, especially wheat, and to drink wine as part of religious rituals associated with this occasion, according to their beliefs.
Occupation forces imposed strict restrictions on the entry of Muslims to Al-Aqsa Mosque from the dawn prayer and kept worshippers away from its gates.
On the eve of the so-called "Shavuot," 535 settlers stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque yesterday, Sunday, and performed their collective and public prayers in its courtyards.
