Preparing for clashes:
Palestinian organizations this morning (Thursday) called on Arab social networks for people to come to Al Aqsa tomorrow with equipment to stay overnight in order to protect the mosque.
The leader of these calls is the Fatah Jerusalem organization.
Meanwhile, Hezbollah's secretary general, Hassan Nasrallah, sent a threatening message to Israel yesterday ahead of Jerusalem Day, which will take place this coming Sunday.
"The Palestinian resistance will respond to any attack on the al-Aqsa Mosque," he said.

"In Gaza, the flag parade, which is supposed to take place in the Old City of Jerusalem, is being challenged for their national aspirations," the head of the terrorist organization claimed.
"Hamas and Islamic Jihad see this as an opportunity to be perceived as leading the struggle for sovereignty in the city. The terrorist organizations have promised to respond if the parade passes through the Nablus Gate."
Following the threats made by Hezbollah, as well as other terrorist organizations, contacts are being made to prevent escalation, mainly between Israel and Egypt and the UN. Qatar is also involved and transmits messages from Gaza to Tel Aviv.
