Palestinian group Hamas marked the 26th anniversary of the Al-Aqsa Intifada on Monday and called on Arabs, Muslims and supporters worldwide to back the Palestinian people in regaining their rights.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur compass will remain firmly directed toward liberating the land and holy sites, and we call on our nation and free people around the world to support our people\u2019s struggle and steadfastness until they secure their legitimate rights,\u201d Hamas said in a statement marking the intifada, which erupted on September\u00a028, 2000.<\/p>\n

It said this year\u2019s anniversary comes amid an \u201cunprecedented escalation\u201d by Israel against the Palestinians and holy sites, including East Jerusalem\u2019s Al-Aqsa Mosque.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was accompanied by Israeli protection for extremist occupiers and efforts to Judaise Al-Aqsa, desecrate it and erase its features, as well as advance annexation and displacement plans,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIsraeli measures will not succeed in extinguishing the flame of resistance or undermining the determination and will of the Palestinian people,\u201d the group said.<\/p>\n

It reiterated that Palestinians \u201cwill not relinquish their land, rights, national principles or holy sites\u201d, saying Israeli government plans \u201care destined to fail\u201d.<\/p>\n

The group called for Palestinian agreement on a unified strategy, backed by sustained Arab, Muslim and international support and \u201ceffective partnership\u201d from supporters around the world.<\/p>\n

It called on Arab and Muslim countries and supporters worldwide to take political, diplomatic, media and popular action to support Palestinians and oppose measures targeting Al-Aqsa Mosque.<\/p>\n

On Sept\u00a028, 2000, then-Israeli opposition leader Ariel Sharon raided the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in East Jerusalem under heavy security, an event that sparked the Al-Aqsa Intifada.<\/p>\n

The uprising lasted around five years, during which 4,412 Palestinians were killed and 48,322 others injured, according to official figures.<\/p>\n

Israel was established in 1948 on Palestinian land seized by armed Zionist groups that carried out massacres and displaced at least 750,000 Palestinians. Israel later occupied the remaining Palestinian territories and continues to reject withdrawal and the establishment of a Palestinian state as stipulated in UN resolutions.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
