Hamas has issued a stern warning condemning recent Israeli provocations at the Al-Aqsa Mosque, labelling them a “dangerous escalation”, TRT World reports.

An extremist Israeli group, Temple Mount Faithful, recently released a video depicting a simulated fire consuming Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock, with the caption, “Coming soon in these days”.

The group, known for its calls to demolish Al-Aqsa and replace it with a Jewish temple, sparked outrage with the video.

Hamas condemned the video as part of an ongoing incitement campaign by Israeli right-wing groups, which it says are operating under the protection of the Israeli government.

In a statement, the group warned that these actions are intended to “Judaize the mosque and erase its Islamic identity.”
