Extremist Jewish Group Sparks Outrage with AI Video Threatening Al-Aqsa Mosque
The Palestinian Hamas group recently issued a stern warning after an extremist Jewish organization released an artificial intelligence (AI) generated video depicting the destruction of Islamic holy sites in Jerusalem, including the revered Al-Aqsa Mosque. The extremist Temple Mount Activists group shared the video online, showing Al-Aqsa and Dome of the Rock mosques in flames, with captions boasting of “absolute victory.”
Hamas condemned the video as a “dangerous escalation,” accusing the Israeli government and settlers of attempting to harm the Arab-Islamic identity of the holy sites. The group called for Palestinians to be prepared to confront any Zionist plans against Al-Aqsa Mosque. The Palestinian foreign ministry also condemned the continued provocations by extremist Jewish settlers at the holy site.
Al-Aqsa, Islam’s third holiest site, is a symbol of Palestinian national identity. Despite an agreement between Israel and Jordan to maintain the Muslim character of the site, far-right activists have intensified efforts to change its status. This escalation comes amid rising tensions in the region, signaling potential unrest in the days ahead.
