More than four months after Hamas terrorists barbarically murdered over 1200 Israelis and took hundreds of others hostage, the Gaza-based Islamic terrorist group is threatening Israel with a new wave of terror attacks as the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan approaches.
Hamas vowed to unleash an “explosion” of violence and terror against Israel if Muslims, particularly military-age men, were restricted from entering Jerusalem’s Temple Mount during Ramadan on security grounds in the wake of ongoing counter-terrorism operation in Gaza.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s national unity government recently proposed to restrict the entry of military-age Muslim man to the Temple Mount during the month of Ramadan set to start on March 10. The proposed “restrictions would bar all Arab Israelis under the age of 40 from accessing the mosque compound,” The Times of Israel reported February 20, citing government officials. “Security officials reportedly told the [cabinet] meeting that most troublemakers from among Arab Israelis or from East Jerusalem are below the age of 40,” the Israeli news website noted.
The month of Ramadan in Israel is often accompanied by a wave of violent rioting and terrorist attacks aimed at innocent Israeli civilians — much like in other countries with majority or substantial Muslim populations.
“‘An explosion is coming’: Hamas warns against Ramadan restrictions on Temple Mount,” by Sam Halpern, Jerusalem Post, February 24, 2024:
Hamas issued a warning to Israel on the terror organization’s Telegram channel on Saturday, threatening an ‘explosion’ of rage should Muslim access to al-Aqsa Mosque on Jerusalem’s Temple Mount be restricted during Ramadan.
“Let our enemy know that souls are boiling… [our] anger is imminent… and an explosion is coming in response to any restrictions on the entry of Muslims to Al-Aqsa Mosque during the month of Ramadan,” Hamas wrote.
Last week, The Jerusalem Post reported that a source had confirmed that visitation rights to the Temple Mount for West Bank Palestinian Muslims would be restricted to individuals over the age of 60 and under the age of 10.
Possible restrictions on Israeli Muslims were still under review. Specifically, KAN subsequently reported that the restriction of access to the Temple Mount for Israeli Arabs below the age of 40 was being examined.
“We call on the people of our Palestinian people in the occupied territories, Jerusalem and the West Bank, to escalate the confrontation of the occupation everywhere,” Hamas wrote in a previous message on Telegram. The Islamist terror organization added that they called upon Palestinians “to mobilize and march to the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, to protect it from the desecration of the usurping settlers, and to thwart all fascist plans targeting the Holy Mosque and the Holy City.”

It is way past the time that hamass should have been destroyed. Threatening terrorist attacks all the time, they are the enemy of all humanity. Send ham assed terrorists to the World Court.
OLD GUY says
When Hamas ends another muslim/islamic terror group will fill its place. As long as islam is allowed to flourish and expand its influence world wide these terroist groups will keep killing and attacking now muslim/islamic people.
jay sharpe says
Islam should be banned in all western countries, cut off weapon sales to muslim countries, and in effect isolate them from the rest of the world. Including kicking all muslims out of all western countries.
nick bryan says
Yeah, mate if only. Can’t see it happening though.
rick says
Palestinians and other Muslims use Islamic religious dates as an excuse to wage terrorism on their “enemies” whomever they are imagined to be.
somehistory says
They are calling for an “escalation” of the terror campaign…which means they have never stopped it.
The Oct thing was not a beginning of their viciousness and evil; and they never planned it as an ending.
Why not just restrict al of them….under sixty and over? A 61 year old, or older can still use a knife, or other weapon against innocent Israelis.
Why give them the freedom to chant, lie, accuse, and incite to rioting and murder?
The nation of Israel already gets a bad rap for nothing. Why not just go full throttle and nip “the explosion” the “escalation” of violence and murder, in the bud?
Peacelover says
There shouldn’t be any of ‘them’ in Israel anyway.
somehistory says
mozlum ruined nations don’t allow infidels in, when they don’t want to. and who complains? Who riots and commits murder?
turkey under the mozlum dictator ghoul, restricts the worship of Christians, taking over the churches for islam. And the Christians can’t complain, much less riot and murder.
Peacelover says
On another point,it is so sad and disturbing to see so many on ‘their side’ in the states,particularly among the younger. This country is really going in the wrong direction. I am sure teachers in schools have a Lot to do with it,
somehistory says
yes, and the teacher’s unions, which wield a lot of power. Over the schools and the government.
SC says
Vaporise them all. When there are none left they cannot be a rallying cry.
Hudders. says
We have been warned once again. Out of their own hate filled hearts & their rabid blood thirsty mouths.
Thus there has to be zero tolerance for these most wicked of creatures.
Because they only understand the language of extreme violence. History teaches us so.
For islam is a death cult & common ground or any concept of mercy is anathema to it’s low iq brutal acolytes.
Anything other than acceptance of these truths will only ever lead to more slaughter.
It is time to take out the jihadi caliphate trash… For good.
Transmaster says
Don’t think the IDF will be in anyway surprised by this. In fact they are waiting for it more Hamas members to “neutralize”.
nick bryan says
Yes, let the evil mozlums show their faces and then obliterate them. It’s the only way. Like putting out a cockroach trap.
Rick Olsha says
THEY LIVE IN ANOTHER WORLD. WHERE IS THEIR REALITY????
AM ISRAEL CHAI !!!!!!!
