Separately, Mushir al-Masri, a senior Hamas operative in Gaza, told the Lebanese Al-Mayadin channel on Wednesday evening that any provocation in the feelings of Muslims in Jerusalem means "provocation for the rocket depots in Gaza."
Deputy Hamas leader Saleh Aruri, who is responsible for establishing Hamas terror cells in the West Bank, called for a general mobilization of Palestinians, to prevent IDF incursions into towns and villages and "to act as one man against Israeli aggression."
On Wednesday, the leaders of Gaza's terror groups came together to issue a unified call for escalation against Israel, as tension mounts around the Temple Mount and Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem.
Hamas, which rules the Gaza Strip, had called for it after vowing to end the actions of Jewish activists at the holy site "at any cost."
"We declare a general mobilization in all places where our people are. We call on the masses to come out in their hundreds of thousands to protect our nation and our mosque," the Gaza groups said in a statement.
