The targeting happened on\u00a0Yom Yerushalayim Day, which \u201ccelebrates the Jews taking Jerusalem back in the 1967 Six-Day War. It commemorates the reunification of Jerusalem and the establishment of Israeli control over the Old City, where the Temple Mount is located.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA fire broke out on the Temple Mount near the Al Aqsa Mosque,\u201d The Daily Wire added. \u201cThe Temple Mount is the site of the two ancient Temples of Israel and the current site of the Al Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock. The fire was apparently started by fireworks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Playing into the chaos, a Palestinian Authority (PA) election was canceled in recent weeks after it \u201cbecame clear to PA President Mahmoud Abbas that he would lose control to Hamas,\u201d The Daily Wire noted. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.haaretz.com\/middle-east-news\/palestinians\/.premium-abbas-set-to-announce-postponement-not-cancellation-of-palestinian-election-1.9759709\">Blaming Israel<\/a>, Abbas said, \u201cWe have decided to postpone the election until the participation of our people in Jerusalem is guaranteed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/hamas-middle-east-elections-religion-government-and-politics-e88636bc919f8aab455e01fbbd4b4391\">Associated Press<\/a> reported: \u201cThe last elections, held in 2006 with international support and Israeli cooperation, saw Hamas win a landslide victory after campaigning as a scrappy underdog untainted by corruption. That sparked an internal crisis culminating in Hamas\u2019 seizure of Gaza the following year, which confined Abbas\u2019 authority to parts of the Israeli-occupied West Bank. <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/turkey-qatar-elections-ismail-haniyeh-campaigns-c748ed6d65f3e30fb3e7eaf47deda7a7\">Hamas\u2019 popularity has fallen in the years since<\/a>, as conditions in Gaza have steadily deteriorated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>WATCH:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"13.432203389831\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Authorities in the Islamic Republic attempted to burn the Israeli flag, as they usually do.
