Hamas, Fatah call for mass protests, ‘rage’ on Friday
Hamas calls on its followers in the West Bank on Friday to participate in “marches of rage” over recent Israeli security measures taken at the Temple Mount following a terror attack there.
This is the second week in a row that Hamas has made such a call.
The Palestinian Authority’s ruling Fatah party also called on its supporters, for the second week in a row, to take to the streets in Jerusalem and the West Bank on Friday in opposition to Israel’s security measures at the holy site.
Israel removed metal detectors from entrances to the Temple Mount, but left in place metal railings and scaffolding.
