In an aggressive and unprecedented step, the so-called "Temple Organizations" called on the settlers and their supporters to bring their animal sacrifices and gather next Wednesday evening at the gates of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, on the eve of what is called the Hebrew "Passover".Those extremist organizations published a central announcement to their audience to gather at the gates of Al-Aqsa Mosque on Wednesday evening, corresponding to the fifth of April, and set the gathering hour at 10:30 at night.According to what Ziyad Ibhais, a specialist in Jerusalem affairs, posted on his Facebook page, "The extremist groups demanded that their supporters bring sacrificial animals with the aim of trying to slaughter them at night inside the Al-Aqsa Mosque, while the Biblical time for the sacrament starts from sunset on Wednesday."
I couldn't find this specific announcement but it could easily be true - there have been Temple groups that have attempted this in years past.
I did find that this coming Sunday, other Temple groups will perform a trial run of a sacrifice ceremony where they will publicly play out what such a sacrifice would look like.
But there is no way someone is smuggling a sheep to the Temple Mount on the night of Passover! Jews can't even bring prayer books there during normal visiting hours - they'll smuggle a sheep at night through one of the other zealously guarded gates?
Variants of this happen every year, with Muslims warning about how terrible it would be if Jews do a ceremony on the site, some Jews trying to do something, and they are always stopped - by Israeli forces. The whole thing is a play and everyone acts their part.
