Awqaf Department Slams Israeli Ad Hominem Attacks Against Aqsa Guards

Al-Quds, 6 Dzulhijjah 1437/8 September 2016 (MINA) – The Islamic Awqaf (Endowment) Department in Occupied Jerusalem slammed the simmering Israeli attacks and ad-hominem campaigns against the supervision personnel at the holy Al-Aqsa Mosque.

A Facebook post by an Israeli fanatic settler and his wife accused a guard at the Al-Aqsa of abuse, in allegations posted and shared by Israeli settler gangs, The Palestinian Infoemarion Center (PIC) reported.

The Islamic Awqaf reiterated its support for the Al-Aqsa supervision staff and all those who have been defending such a sacred place of worship against Israeli aggressions.

“Such Israeli accusations and ad-hominem campaigns stem from a dangerous attempt to find pretexts for the incarceration of Muslim guards at the Al-Aqsa,” the statement read.

“None of those allegations will dampen the spirits of our guards,” it added. “Those who keep storming the Mosque are the real criminals.”

Israeli fanatic settlers have been vandalizing the Al-Aqsa Mosque on a quasi-daily basis and under a heavy police escort.

The Israeli occupation authorities have slapped arbitrary bans from the al-Aqsa on dozens of Muslim guards and peaceful worshipers in an attempt to create a new fait accompli on the ground and wipe out Muslims’ presence at their third holiest site.(T/P008/R07)
