Our correspondent indicated that at 5 am, the IOF stormed Al-Qibli prayer hall and sealed its doors with iron chains. The occupation forces also set up a barrier in the Old City of Al-Quds to prevent Palestinians from reaching Al-Aqsa Mosque.

About 1,000 Israeli settlers raided the Old City of Al-Quds on Sunday, waving Israeli flags and provoking the city's residents.

In light of the preparations for the "Flag March" in Al-Quds, the head of Hamas Political Bureau, Ismail Haniyeh, said that "all options are on the table, and we are ready for all possible scenarios."

Haniyeh added that the occupation wishes to make the "Flag March" an attempt to undermine the accomplishment of the Seif Al-Quds battle and to bypass the fervor created after the battle, "but we will say clearly that the clock will not turn back, and the Al-Aqsa Mosque is our right and it belongs to us."

He further clarified that the nation, the people, and the Resistance are all ready to deal with any developments that may occur on Sunday and considered the spearhead of the developments to be "our people in Al-Quds, who never thought twice about defending Al-Aqsa, the West Bank, and the '48 territories, and Gaza will remain as their sword and shield."

Similarly, the Palestinian Resistance factions warned the Israeli occupation from committing any foolishness by allowing the storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque and carrying out the "Flag March", stressing that this scheme would detonate the regional situation. 

"Israel's" provocative 'Flag March' has been going for years. In 2021, the march led to the 11-day aggression on #Gaza Strip. This year, #Palestinians are calling worldwide attention to raising the #Palestinian flag in defiance of the march. #RaiseTheFlag #لنرفع_علم_فلسطين pic.twitter.com/5iyIbFY0iJ

Israeli media reported on Saturday that Hamas launched eight test rockets from Gaza towards the sea as a warning for "Israel".

Simultaneously, Israeli media outlets said that the occupation has deployed additional Iron Dome systems in the occupied territories. Israeli Channel 12 said that occupation forces deployed these systems to intercept rockets in the occupied Palestinian lands.

Moreover, Sheikh Omar Al-Kiswani told Al Mayadeen that the Israeli settlers' provocations today are a new approach that the occupation is trying to impose on Palestinians in Al-Aqsa Mosque.

He reported that 1,678 settlers stormed the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque, a number never seen since the Six-day war in 1967.
