Extremist Jewish organizations in Israel have demanded that the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock from East Jerusalem Al-Quds be transferred to Mecca.

Gershon Salomon is seeking the removal of the mosques from East Jerusalem Al-Quds, which Israel occupied during the 1967 aggression and illegally annexed it later despite international opposition, Israeli daily Yedioth Ahronoth reported on Wednesday.

The founder and leader of the ultra-Orthodox Temple Mount and Eretz Yisrael Faithful Movement plans to have Israeli engineers transfer the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock to the Muslims' holy city of Mecca, the daily added.

The Israeli paper also quoted ultra-right Yehuda Etzion, who is associated with Israeli spy agencies, as saying that blowing up of the Muslim sanctities would become 'inevitable' to if Tel Aviv fails to dissemble and transfer the edifices.

Etzion was jailed for five years in the 1980s for a plot to explode the mosques on the Noble Sanctuary (Haram al-Sharif), and has vowed he would do the same again.

The Al-Aqsa Mosque has been attacked by extremist Jews over the past week while the mosque compound was sealed off to Muslim worshippers.

Israel also deployed thousands of troops in the area to quell demonstrations by Palestinians protesters who accused Tel Aviv of efforts to take away the Islamic-Palestinian identity of the Muslims' third holy site.

Jordan, who enjoys the right to look after all Islamic and Christian holy sites in East Jerusalem Al-Quds under a 1994 peace treaty, demanded last week that Israel keep Jewish extremists away from the compound and keep the Mugrabi Gate closed.

And no. I do not support mosques being anywhere in the West or even more so synagogues. Mosques should be allowed anywhere in Palestine. There should be witch hunts going around to find synagogues to burn. One could only hope. I am anti-religion and do not care about Islam. It should remain in its oriental land.

Al Qasssam Website/Agencies - Clashes between Zionist police and Palestinian youths erupted anew at the Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied East Jerusalem on Sunday, after more officers and special forces deployed to the compound.

Zionist forces fired stun grenades, tear-gas canisters and rubber-coated bullets in the vicinity of the compound, while Palestinian youths were seen throwing stones and setting fires with electrical wires near Al-Majlis Gate.

They also damaged some of the cameras which Zionist police use to monitor the inside of the compound, according to Ma'an's correspondent, who was reporting live from the scene.

Hatim Abdul-Qadir, the former Palestinian Authority minister of Jerusalem affairs, said several worshippers were hurt as police officers raided the area, and that others suffered inhalation injuries from the tear gas.

According to Abdul-Qadir, 10 Palestinians were injured and more than 15 were detained. Zionist police reported that three officers were injured. One was evacuated to a hospital, an official said.

Sheikh Muhammad Hussein, the mufti of Jerusalem and Palestine, warned that the situation could escalate. He said Zionist forces assaulted worshippers indiscriminately, including women and mosque guards. Police were attempting to break into the mosque building and the Dome of the Rock, he said.

But Zionist police denied that their forces had entered the mosque, itself, although several were seen outside carrying ladders and crowbars after worshipers inside the mosque were told to leave. Police cut power to the mosque's loudspeakers after they were used to urge Palestinians in Jerusalem to gather near the compound in solidarity with its besieged worshipers.

Confrontations also erupted outside the compound, where Zionist police clashed with students from Dar Al-Aytam school in the Old City after they marched and chanted "Allah Akbar." One was reportedly detained.

Zionist police or military helicopters were seen flying over the Old City.

Ahmad Tibi, a Palestinian member of the Knesset, accused Israel of trying to take control of the compound. He called on Arab and Islamic countries to unite to counter "[Benjamin] Netanyahu's aggressive policies."

According to Zionist media, the area was locked down after young men poured oil to make police officers slip in the event they raided the compound. Those reports mentioned the use of stun grenades, but not tear gas.

The Zionist daily newspaper Haaretz reported that youths hurled stones at Zionist forces, who subsequently stormed the compound. The newspaper also said one Molotov was tossed, causing no injuries. The same report added that about a dozen Palestinians were holed up in the compound's mosque, and that they were the only ones not removed from the area before it was closed to Muslim worshipers.

Zionist forces did not, however, close the area to Jews. According to the Hebrew-language daily newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth, "Jewish prayer at the holy site is continuing as usual."

On Saturday evening, Muslim officials and institutions called on worshippers to prevent the entry of right-wing Zionist groups and individuals, who had announced their intentions to enter the area under armed guard. The Jerusalem Post, an English-language Zionist newspaper, reported that a religious group calling itself the "Temple Mount Organization" was calling on adherents to gather at the compound.
