Ahmad Hassoun, former Grand Mufti of Syria under ousted Bashar al-Assad, has been sentenced to life in prison for crimes committed.

The Fourth Criminal Court in Damascus issued the ruling on Monday, finding Hassoun guilty of a range of crimes, including inciting violence, justifying killings and the abuse of his office.

The court handed Hassoun several prison sentences for various charges, including 20 years after being found guilty of inciting killings.

The judge also sentenced him to 10 years in prison after being found guilty of prolonging the killings.

Judge Fakhr al-Din al-Aryan said that Hassoun and the official religious institution he headed were used to provide religious cover for military and security operations during al-Assad’s brutal rule.

His teachings also justified the use of barrel bombs that targeted civilian areas and caused widespread destruction, which constitutes a violation of the rules of international humanitarian law, the judge said.

Israel's Chief Rabbi David Yosef:

Gaza is the Land of Israel, Gaza is ours, Shechem is ours, Jenin is ours, all of them are ours.

This mob that is not a people, that they call themselves a Palestinian people but they are not a people.

They never were a people and they have no rights. The rights are ours.

On the desecrated Gaza synagogues:

It is fitting that the Holy One Blessed Be He destroy all of Gaza and we will return there.

🚨 Arson Attack On Al-Aqsa Mosque - 21st August 1969

It's been 57 years today since Australian terrorist, Denis Michael Rohan, set fire to the pulpit of Masjid Al-Aqsa.

The fire had swept through some of the oldest parts of the mosque, most notably destroying the 900-year-old wood and ivory pulpit gifted by Salahuddin al-Ayoubi, as well as mosaic panels on the walls and ceilings; many areas within the mosque were left blackened and burnt.

Nur-Ad-Din Zingi رحمه الله built the minbar to be placed in Masjid Al-Aqsa intending to liberate Al-Quds, at that particular time the Crusaders occupied As-Sham (Greater Syria).

Nur-Ad-Din Zingi passed away before Al-Quds was liberated by Salahuddin on 25th / 27th Rajab 583/2 October. 1187.

Salahuddin placed the Minbar his teacher built inside Masjid Al-Aqsa, and the first Jummah Salah was performed after 90 years of Crusader occupation.

UAE-funded mercenary targeted British activist in London

A mercenary allegedly hired and paid millions of dollars by the United Arab Emirates carried out a covert surveillance operation against a British activist and academic in London, according to an investigation by ITV News.

Abraham Golan, a dual Hungarian-Israeli citizen who ran the private security company Spear Operations Group, travelled to Britain in December 2016 to target Anas al-Tikriti, the chief executive of the London-based Cordoba Foundation think tank, ITV News reported on Wednesday.

According to the report, Golan later travelled to London, where he offered Victor £50,000 ($68,000) to help locate Tikriti, increasing the offer to £100,000 ($136,000).

Golan shared photographs of Tikriti's home and car, maps and satellite images, and details of his movements between home and work.

At one meeting, Golan allegedly discussed the possibility of physically eliminating Tikriti.

🚨 MASJID AL-AQSA: AN IMPORTANT CLARIFICATION

A misleading report is circulating at the moment claiming that the occupation government has now, for the first time, officially allowed Jewish prayer inside *Masjid al-Aqsa*, and that this could lead to a change in the so-called “status quo”.

We must correct this!

The decision allowing Jewish prayer inside Masjid al-Aqsa was already made and openly stated in 2024. This is therefore not a new development.

What happened few days ago is something different and very serious.

For the first time, settlers were allowed to bring Jewish prayer books, known as *siddurim*, into Masjid al-Aqsa while carrying out their religious rituals.

Previously, they would carry individual sheets containing the prayers or read them from their phones. They are now being permitted to bring the prayer books themselves into Masjid al-Aqsa.

This is another dangerous step in the continuing attempt to establish Jewish worship inside Masjid al-Aqsa and impose further changes on the ground.

The concern with the way the story is currently being shared is that it gives people the impression that the existing situation had remained intact until now, and that Masjid al-Aqsa has only just entered a new period of danger.

The reality is that these developments have been taking place over a number of years.

Each new measure builds upon what has already been imposed before it. Religious rituals became more open. Prayer was increasingly tolerated and protected. Now prayer books themselves are being brought inside.

When these developments are reported without the wider context, people can easily miss the seriousness of what is actually unfolding at Masjid al-Aqsa

“And who is more unjust than those who prevent the name of Allah from being mentioned in His *masjids* and strive towards their ruin?” – Surah al-Baqarah 2:114

What is happening at Masjid al-Aqsa requires accurate reporting and serious attention from the Ummah.

We need to keep people informed, speak about these developments clearly, maintain public awareness and support the steadfast presence of visitng Muslims and the people of Jerusalem who continue to protect Masjid al-Aqsa.

There can be no complacency when it comes to the defence of Masjid al-Aqsa.
