Hamas-linked channels are warning that Israelis attempting to perform the Passover lamb sacrifice on the Temple Mount would be a step toward Israel replacing the mosques with a Third Temple
Hamas’ official media outlets have reported that Jewish religious ceremonies on the Temple Mount are seen as a “desecration” of the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound.
A message posted on the group’s Telegram channel said that according to Islamic belief, the entire Temple Mount is part of the Al-Aqsa Mosque and cannot be separated from it.
Therefore, any Jewish activity on the site, especially sacrifices, is considered a grave violation of the sanctity of the site.
Hamas has also claimed that other Jewish ceremonies in the past, such as blowing the shofar (a trumpet) during the Jewish New Year, wearing the four species during the festival of Sukkot, kneeling or prostrating on the ground, and bringing religious objects to the site, are, in their view, intentional attempts to change the rules of what can and cannot be done on the Temple Mount.
According to Hamas, making a sacrifice on the Temple Mount, even if symbolic, could transform the Al-Aqsa Mosque into a Jewish temple in concept, paving the way for a plan to build the Third Temple.
They believe that the first steps of such a plan would include dividing the Temple Mount into separate areas for use, as is the case with the Cave of the Patriarchs, and then beginning construction on the Temple Mount itself.
