“All scenarios are open, including firing missiles from multiple fronts,” the terror official said.
Despite a message from Israel delivered via Egyptian mediators that Jerusalem is not interested in an escalation, terror groups said that violence is still on the table as a response to today’s Flag March in Israel’s capital city.
Speaking to the Lebanon-based, Hezbollah-affiliated Al-Akhbar newspaper, spokesmen for several Palestinian terror groups repeated their threats that the march passing through the Muslim Quarter of the Old City may see dramatic retaliation, such as rockets fired from Gaza.
“The provocations on the ground, and the attempt to change the status quo, will not pass [quietly],” a senior terrorist told Al-Akhbar, according to a Maariv report.
“Israel’s belief that the resistance in Gaza cannot start a new round is wrong, we are monitoring what is happening in Jerusalem, and we have the right to protect the Al-Aqsa Mosque,” the terrorist continued.
According to Hebrew language media, Iran and its proxy groups are intentionally spreading misinformation on social media that marchers are planning on gathering at the Temple Mount.
Police have stressed that marchers waving Israeli flags will not be permitted to enter the compound.
