The Hamas terror group urged Palestinians to hold a “Day of Rage” on Friday in order to confront what it called “settlers’ aggression” and the “storming of the Al-Aqsa Mosque” in Jerusalem.
“This aggression will be met by our people with further resistance and confrontation,” the terror group said in a statement.
