Researcher specializing in Jerusalem affairs, Ziad Abhiss, revealed that reviewing platforms of the so-called “Temple organizations” documented seven attempts to bring the “Passover sacrifice” into Al-Aqsa Mosque.

He explained that these attempts are escalating: three occurred during Passover 2025, six during the same year, including three where settlers managed to bring a live or slaughtered animal into Al-Aqsa courtyards briefly before being stopped, in addition to three similar attempts in 2024.
