OIC condemns extremist Israeli occupation minister's storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque
JEDDAH, Aug 3 (KUNA) -- The General Secretariat of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) condemned on Sunday extremist Israeli occupation minister Itamar Ben-Gvir for breaking into Al-Aqsa Mosque under protection of occupation forces. The organization stated that this comes as part of the Israeli occupation's attempts to change the existing historical and legal status of the Al-Aqsa Mosque. It holds the occupation government fully responsible for the assaults, which provoke Muslims around the world and threaten security and stability in the region. The OIC called on the international community to bear its responsibility and put an end to these serious violations and to maintain the historical and legal status of Islamic and Christian holy sites in the occupied city of Jerusalem. Hundreds of extremist settlers, including so-called Israeli occupation National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque earlier Sunday and performed Jewish rites, in addition to dancing and shouting throughout the courtyard, in a move aimed at undermining the legal and historical status of the mosque.

Kuwaiti martyrs.. a timeless legacy of heroism, national sacrifice
KUWAIT: With unmatched courage and sacrifice, Kuwait's martyrs wrote eternal chapters of heroism during the brutal 1990 Iraqi invasion. From soldiers on the battlefield to civilians and resistance fighters who sacrificed their lives in covert operations or under torture, they became enduring symbols of national pride and resilience. The Kuwaiti resistance stood as a beacon of patriotism, uniting citizens in bold, high-risk missions, including intelligence gathering, sabotaging Iraqi supply lines, and direct strikes against the invasion forces. Following the liberation of Kuwait, the government moved swiftly to honor its heroes, establishing the Martyrs' Office in 1991 to care for their families and honor their legacy. Landmark projects such as Al-Shaheed Park and Al-Qurain Martyrs Museum now stand as living testaments to their bravery. The sacrifices of the Kuwaiti martyrs continue to inspire new generations, instilling the enduring values of unity, patriotism, and unwavering devotion to the homeland. — KUNA
