Following threats of retaliation from the Hamas terror group if National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir visits Har HaBayis, one rocket was launched at Israel on Tuesday night at 11 p.m. and fell within the Gaza Strip.
No air raid sirens were sounded in Israeli communities on the Gaza border as the missile projection systems registered that the rocket would fall short of the border.
No terror group claimed responsibility for the failed launch.
Ben-Gvir’s visit to Har HaBayis on Tuesday morning, Asara B’Teves, was sharply condemned later on Tuesday by HaGaon HaRav Yitzchak Yosef and HaGaon HaRav Shlomo Amar.
On Wednesday morning, the Yated Neeman and the Sephardi HaDerech newspapers published statements of condemnation against Ben-Gvir’s visit. Finance Committee chairman Moshe Gafni issued a statement saying that “my position, and I’ve told this to Minister Ben-Gvir, is that it’s assur al pi halacha to ascend to Har HaBayis. Gedolei Yisrael for generations from all the eidos have forbidden it and said that it’s a chiyuv kareis.”

I wonder if its Hamas or Islamic Jihad.

It would have been infinitely better to spend עשרה ב”טבת at home feasting on meat 🍖 & wine 🍷 accompany by music 🎶 , rather than fasting on the הר הבית
people who kill and kiss the dirt will deal with our Creator…
