‘Strike Tel Aviv’: Palestinians at Temple Mount chant in support of Hamas
Worshipers at the Temple Mount for Laylat al-Qadr prayers are chanting in support of the Hamas terror group’s military wing, which this evening reiterated its threat to attack Israel over recent tensions in Jerusalem.
“Strike Tel Aviv,” they chant. “In spirit and in blood, we will redeem al-Aqsa.”
Similar chants are heard at the Damascus Gate, as Palestinians throw water bottles at riot police, who respond with stun grenades.
Palestinian demonstrators also light a trash can on fire on Salah al-Din Street near the Damascus Gate as clashes with police intensify.
