By Jonathan Lis, Haaretz Correspondent, and Haaretz Service

The head of the northern branch of Israel's Islamic Movement on Friday called for an "intifada" to save the Al-Aqsa Mosque, Israel Radio reported.

In a fiery speech at his protest tent in the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Wadi Joz, Sheikh Raed Salah accused Israel of attempting to build the Temple on the Temple Mount while drenched in Arab blood, according to the report.

"Israeli history is drenched in blood," Israel Radio quoted Salah as saying. "They want to build their Temple while our blood is on their clothing, on their doorposts, in their food and in their water."
