RUMOR RISK: On social media, a poster is circulating that Israelis will storm Al Aqsa mosque Tuesday at 8 AM

Mon, 13 Feb 2012 18:40:00 -0800

I've seen tweets and Facebook posts in Arabic and English that the Al Aqsa mosque will be stormed or raided tomorrow (Tuesday 14 February) at 8 AM. This rumor is based on another poster that appears to originate from the same web site as a very alarming flyer that was disseminated in Israeli media and posted in Jerusalem about a visit by Moshe Feiglin on Sunday.

There is no indication that this event is anything but what it appears to be: a group of women and a rabbi will visit the Temple Mount and pray. Specifically there is no evidence that this is a call to storm, invade or raid the Al Aqsa mosque. The flyer also contains conflicting information about the date. For this year, Hebrew date 14 Shvat is actually Gregorian date 7 February.

The translation is included below.

Translation

Redemption will come about thanks to righteous women

On Tuesday, 14 Shvat, 14 February 2012

WE SHALL MAKE ALIYAH

After authorized Halachic instruction, in holiness and in purity [after ritual baths] we shall make Aliyah to pray on the Temple Mount, at the site of the Temple, near and within line of sight of the Holy of Holies.
