Hezbollah pledges solidarity with al-Quds protesters

Lebanon's resistance movement, Hezbollah, has condemned the use of force by Israeli police against Palestinian protesters in the occupied East Jerusalem al-Quds.

The condemnation comes a day after Israeli forces fired rubber bullets and stun grenades to disperse thousands of angry Palestinians who took to the streets of al-Quds to protest the reopening of the Hurva synagogue.

The restoration of the synagogue, just a few meters from the al-Aqsa Mosque, drew a strong response from different Palestinians factions and raised speculations of a third intifada against Israeli violations.

Joining the calls was Hezbollah, who announced complete solidarity with Palestinians and vowed to stand by their side in their struggle against "Zionist crimes being committed around the al-Aqsa mosque."

The resistance movement expressed hope that the building of an Israeli synagogue near the al-Aqsa mosque will lead to more Muslim vigilance and resistance.

The Islamic movement also demanded that Arab and Muslim leaders take concrete action against Israel.

On Wednesday, a Palestinian parliamentary official called on al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas' military wing, to respond to Israeli practices in East al-Quds.

Fatah's armed wing, al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, also called on the Palestinian Authority to return their confiscated weapons and release the group's fighters in jail so that they could join the "al-Quds Intifada" and help protect the al-Aqsa Mosque — the third holiest site in the Muslim world.
