PA daily uses term “alleged Temple” and describes visits by Jews to Temple Mount as “invasions”
Headline: “Settlers renew their invasions, warnings of suspicious activities today [July 12, 2016] at the [Al-Aqsa] Mosque”
"Settlers yesterday [July 11, 2016] renewed their invasions of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque through the Mughrabi Gate, under heavy protection by special forces of the occupation police.
The invasions were carried out in small groups one after the other, and were accompanied by cries of ‘Allahu Akbar’ as a sign of protest from the [Muslim] worshippers during the settlers’ provocative tours of the [Al-Aqsa] Mosque [plaza]. [Palestinian] top officials, clergy , and respected national figures in Jerusalem warned against the calls of the alleged ‘Temple’ organizations to their supporters to participate today [July 12, 2016] in widespread invasions in order to hold a memorial service at the Al-Aqsa Mosque [plaza] for the killed settler and the rabbi who died recently (13-year-old Hallel Yaffa Ariel and Rabbi Michael Mark, both murdered by Palestinian terrorists –Ed.). They held the occupation institutions responsible for the consequences of these violations.”
The PA and its leaders consider all of the Temple Mount an integral part of the Al-Aqsa Mosque. Therefore they view any presence of Jews on the mount as an "invasion." It should be noted that Jews who visit the Temple Mount only enter some sections of the open areas, and do not enter the Al-Aqsa Mosque or the Dome of the Rock.
"Alleged Temple organizations" refer to religious Jewish movements including the Temple Mount Heritage Foundation, The Initiative for Jewish Freedom on the Temple Mount and Students for the Temple Mount, which spread awareness of the importance of the Temple Mount in Judaism and encourage people to visit the site.
Muhammad Taraireh – 17-year-old Palestinian terrorist, who stabbed and murdered 13-year-old American Israeli Hallel Yaffa Ariel, as she slept in her bed, in her home in Kiryat Arba near Hebron, on June 30, 2016. Taraireh also injured one of the Israeli security personnel before he was shot and killed.
Rabbi Michael Mark - a 48-year-old father of ten who was murdered by Palestinian terrorists in a shooting attack on July 1, 2016 on Route 60 in the southern Har Hebron region. Rabbi Mark, director of the Otniel Yeshiva (Jewish religious studies academy), was shot and murdered when terrorists opened fire on his car, causing the vehicle to overturn and crash. Rabbi Mark’s wife Chava, 40, was seriously wounded in the attack, and two of their children were also injured – their daughter Tehila, 15, and their son Pedayah, 16. The terrorists managed to escape.
