The Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of the Hamas Movement, on Sunday warned that any harm done to the holy Aqsa Mosque at the hands of Israel would be met with an unprecedented reprisal.
The armed wing, in a communiqué, said that it was closely monitoring events in occupied Jerusalem, and threatened "cruel" retaliatory strikes to any crime against the holy site.
"The Aqsa Mosque is a red line and any attempt to cross that line would lead to the Zionists' destruction", it warned, adding that Israel should not forget past lessons whenever they attempted to desecrate or tamper with the holy shrine.
The Qassam Brigades, meanwhile, said that the ongoing judaization of occupied Jerusalem and the Aqsa Mosque was the last warning to the Muslims before the total destruction of the Aqsa at the hands of "Zionist Jews".
It added that Israel was actually proceeding in its bit by bit destruction of the site amidst "horrific silence on the part of leaders of Arab and Islamic countries".
The armed wing called on the Muslim Ummah to shoulder its responsibility towards the third holiest shrine in Islam, and addressed what it called a "final appeal" to the entire world before the "big catastrophe takes place" and thence "regret would be of no use because the entire region would be on fire".
