Senior Hamas official Saleh al-Aruri said on Sunday that Hamas not only oversees the ongoings in Jerusalem but initiates and directs them, and harnesses all its arms to the cause, including its media outlets that are urging people to save the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
Aruri, who is in charge of Hamas' activities in Judea and Samaria, called on the Palestinian Arab residents of Judea and Samaria to fight “settlers” and soldiers everywhere and by all means. He said, "Israelis are playing with fire in Jerusalem. Attacking the Al-Aqsa Mosque is a game of dynamite that will burn the settlers' heads."
