Hawzah News Agency (Qom, Iran) - The Society of Seminary Teachers of Qom issued a statement in which they condemned Zionist regime’s recent brutalities in al-Aqsa mosque. Text of the statement is as follows:

In the Name of Allah, The Most Compassionate, The Most Merciful

The victory of Palestinian Islamic Resistance in thwarting Zionists’ programs for gradually occupying holy al-Aqsa mosque and breaking their blockade serve as remarkable steps on the path of liberation of occupied Palestine. Such victories are achieved due to the sacrifices of Palestinian youth and resistance forces in occupied territories. These struggles keep the flames of Intifada burning in occupied Palestine; the humiliating silence of Arab regimes could not have a negative effect on Palestinians’ popular revolutionary movement. Such measures cannot stop that Muslim and freedom-seeking nation from continuing their fight against Israel.

The popular support in the majority of Islamic countries including Iran brought a wave of hope and encouragement to the Palestinian forces; In addition, Hezbollah’s recent victories in battle of Arsal in Lebanon and their deadly blow on takfiri terrorists promise hopeful days for the Islamic world to come.

Today, the banner of fight against Israel is flying high in the hands of Palestinian youth and the scandals of reactionary regimes in the region and their empty promise to support Palestine is revealed to all.

Jerusalem al-Quds and the holy al-Aqsa mosque have always belonged to Islam and Palestinians and will do so in future; the illegitimate Israeli regime must beware that their fate is nothing but humiliation and indignity.

The Society of Seminary Teachers of Qom condemns the recent crimes carried out by the Israeli forces in al-Aqsa mosque that resulted in killing Palestinian worshipers and we hope that Palestinian fighters in occupied territories take control of their country in future.
