"Open-air prison" news: 1500 Gazans going to Al Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem this week

1500 Gazans are going to Jerusalem on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday to celebrate Eid al Adha at the Al Aqsa Mosque on the Temple Mount. 500 are going each day.

They are leaving Gaza via the Erez crossing and being transported to Jerusalem. The pilgrims are all over 60 years old.

When there, they may see this banner on top of the "religious" site, erected on Yom Kippur,



It says:

Our next war - the War of Independence.
The Islamic Movement in the Haram gives blessings to the Islamic nation in general, and our Islamic movement in Palestine in particular,
Because of the blessed Eid Al-adha, Allah will return to us and liberate us, and Al-Aqsa.
Allah accepts the obedient. Gaza won, and the truth won out over power!

Here's video of the benner being placed and the cheers from the crowd:
