Israel's Secret Mosque Plan Just Leaked; But They Forgot About The Guards

Israel’s secret mosque theft plot has leaked, and the one thing they forgot could wreck the whole plan before it even starts. Right, so this past Eid al-Fitr, Israel did something it hadn't done since 1967. It shut Palestinians out of the famous Al-Aqsa Mosque altogether. Barricaded gates, the Old City sealed, worshippers down on prayer mats in the open road outside the walls because they couldn't reach the third-holiest site in Islam on one of the holiest mornings of their year. That was of course back in March. Middle East Eye reported it, Al Jazeera reported it, many other outlets reported it and the official reason given was the "security situation" during the US-Israeli war on Iran. Now hang onto that notion for a minute, because the story being sold now is that all of this is just access and management. It isn't. Sitting above the gates is a reported plan most of those worshippers have never heard of, and the people drawing it up would much rather you kept staring at the checkpoints to gain access than at what they've got on paper in the here and now.
