The History of Zionist Aggression on Al Aqsa

The Al-Aqsa Compound in Jerusalem, the third holiest site in Islam, is a focal point of Palestinian identity and resistance. It comprises the Dome of the Rock, where Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) ascended to heaven; the Qibli Mosque, the main place of prayer; and the Al-Buraq Wall, where the Prophet tethered his steed. However, under Zionist occupation, Palestinians face severe access restrictions and the threat of the mosque's foundation being undermined for the construction of a new Jewish temple. Al-Aqsa's preservation is vital for Palestinian identity and resistance against the forces of colonization and erasure.
