Hamas Banner on Temple Mount/Haram al-Sharif


This past Friday, a banner was hung on the Temple Mount/Haram al-Sharif near the purification fountain (al kas), which is used for ritual washing before entering the nearby mosque.  The banner has a Hamas soldier on the left with a rifle in his hands.  In the background is an image of the Dome of the Rock.  On the lower right are four individuals who have a red x on each of their faces.  The figures are US President Trump, Egyptian President Sisi, Saudi Prince Mohammad Bin Salman, and one other individual.
