A rocket fired by Hamas Friday evening during a salvo of rockets towards Jerusalem nearly landed on the Dome of the Rock, but was intercepted by Iron Dome missiles.
Footage of the successful interception was taken from Temple Mount and has appeared on several Arab social media sites. The footage shows the sirens, which rang out over the entire zone of East Jerusalem, and the interception can clearly be seen above the Temple Mount
Iron Dome just intercepted a rocket right over Al Aqsa mosque on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Israel is using Iron Dome to protect civilians and Holy sites including in Islam. Where is the condemnation against Hamas for targeting these sites? pic.twitter.com/0ZEOrAaUzG

Israel’s UN Ambassador Gilad Erdan told the United Nations General Assembly that Israel had protected the Al-Aqsa Mosque, a holy site for Muslims in Jerusalem, from Hamas.
Sharing his speech on X on Saturday evening, Erdan wrote, “Israel is defending Al-Aqsa Mosque from Hamas missiles‼️
“Just as ISIS destroyed mosques, Hamas-ISIS is willing to blow up Al-Aqsa. For Hamas, murdering Israelis is more important than Islamic holy sites. This is what I said today in the UN General Assembly as I showed the Iron Dome interception of a Hamas missile fired towards the Temple Mount. These are the terrorists that the UN has chosen to protect. Unbelievable !!”
