PA news agency falsely claims Jew set fire to Al-Aqsa Mosque in 1969; “Since before the arson and to this day the Israeli occupation authorities attempt by all means and ways to harm the mosque” and are “Judaizing Jerusalem”
Headline: “The 50th anniversary of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque arson”
“Today, Wednesday, Aug. 21 [2019], is the 50th anniversary of the arson of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque in 1969. On this sad day the Jew (sic., Christian) with Australian citizenship, terrorist Michael Denis [Rohan], came to deliberately set the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque on fire – the Muslims’ First Direction of Prayer and the site where [Allah’s] Messenger Muhammad, Allah’s prayer and blessing upon him, made his Night Journey. The fire completely destroyed important parts of it…
Since before the Al-Aqsa Mosque arson and to this day the Israeli occupation authorities attempt by all means and ways to harm the mosque by excavating underneath it (sic., Israel does not excavate under the Temple Mount) to the point of excavating tunnels that continue from one to another, which has led to the collapse of the mosque’s foundations in the Jerusalem Noble Sanctuary (i.e., the Temple Mount) compound (sic., see note below on claims of damage caused by excavations). The occupation authorities are still investing efforts in Judaizing Jerusalem, the capital of Palestine.”
