"The only solution to defend the Al-Aqsa mosque and to prevent Israelis from carrying out their plans there is for West Bank and Jerusalem residents to take up arms," Mahmud Zahar said in an interview posted on the Islamist movement's website. Tensions have been high in the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem recently, with Paleostinians and Israeli police clashing at the site, which is holy to both Muslims and Jews. Zahar's call comes after numerous attacks on Paleostinians were reported in the West Bank Friday as Israeli troops searched for the suspected Paleostinian killers of a Jewish settler couple shot in front of their young children. "Until now weapons have only served to protect the settlers and the occupiers," added Zahar, whose movement rules the Gazoo Strip. "But we should not forget the West Bank has great human resources that can be mobilized at any moment." "The image of Paleostinians from the West Bank and Jerusalem throwing stones and Molotov cocktails has dealt a blow to the occupier," he said.
According to the report, IDF troops gave Hashya's family a notice for a demolition order on their home, which is expected to be carried out next week.
