The Islamic Movement has held several sessions of summer camp for Muslim children on the Temple Mount.  Approximately 4,000 children have participated in the camps, which operate under the slogan “Jerusalem and Al-Aksa, the symbol of our unity, strength, and honor.”

Khaled Mahamid, who runs the camps, explained that his goal was to educate Muslim children “to be connected to the Al Aksa Mosque and to protect it with their bodies.” The camps “are the most important thing in dealing with the schemes against Al Aksa,” he said.
