57 Years After Dennis' Attack on Al-Aqsa
On August 21, 1969, an Australian Jewish extremist named Michael Dennis deliberately set fire to the Al-Aqsa Mosque, causing extensive destruction to parts of the building, including the Zakariya Shrine, corridors, stained glass windows, and rare decorations. The fire lasted for hours, damaging many Islamic and archaeological landmarks inside the mosque, and led to evacuations and rescue efforts by Palestinians despite attempts by the Israeli occupation to prevent them. This attack is part of a series of ongoing practices by the Israeli occupation since 1948, aimed at Judaizing Jerusalem and altering its Islamic character, with a noticeable escalation since the beginning of the assault on Gaza in 2023. Currently, violations against Al-Aqsa Mosque are escalating, including settler incursions, attempts to bring religious Jewish tools and rituals into the mosque, along with repressive measures and a complete closure of the mosque in 2026—following an unprecedented rise in assaults aimed at imposing new realities and dividing the mosque.
