According to the Muslim sites, the Jews were planning to do the slaughter and then the destruction on Eid al-Fitr itself, which is this coming Wednesday.
But this year, as with previous years, the Israeli police have said the Temple Mount is completely closed to Jews during the last ten days of Ramadan and for the three days of Eid al-Fitr.
Which would make destroying Al Aqsa a bit more difficult.
The Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt is already crediting Hamas with having instilled fear in the Jews and stopping them from this planned destruction.
This is a pattern that has gone on for a hundred years: Arab Muslims claim the Jews are about to destroy Al Aqsa, it doesn't get destroyed, and they then congratulate themselves for averting that destruction.
Since Hamas has made the Red Cow into one of its major reasons for going to war, this gives them the bragging rights to say that they are the ones who averted the catastrophe.
