A big conference was held in the Gaza Strip to mark the anniversary of an arson attack on the al-Aqsa Mosque in 1969.
Fifty-three years ago, the al-Aqsa Mosque in al-Quds was set on fire by an Australian Zionist named Dennis Michael Rohan in coordination with Israeli officials and military forces.
Hundreds of people attended the national conference which was organized by Palestinian resistance factions.
The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas warned the Tel Aviv regime against crossing the red lines at the al-Aqsa Mosque compound.
Soon after the arson attack, the Israeli regime increased the Judaization and settlement building in al-Quds.
Palestinian officials accused Arab regimes normalizing ties with Tel-Aviv of encouraging Israeli attacks against the al-Aqsa Mosque.
This year’s anniversary comes amid an escalation in Israeli attacks against the al-Aqsa Mosque.
Al-Quds is sacred to all Muslims and Palestinians who consider it as the capital of their future state.
Occupied by Israeli regime forces in 1967, al-Quds has been at the heart of the Palestinian struggle for freedom and justice.
Observers say the international community has failed to help the Palestinians in al-Quds and turned a blind eye to Israeli violations against the al-Aqsa Mosque for decades.
