Muslims consider this mosque the third holiest place in Islam after Mecca and Medina. Located on the Temple Mount, this holy place ie the Dome of the Rock and the Al Aqsa Mosque are located. This place is also very holy for the Jews. Israel and Palestine’s claim on this place has turned it into a site of conflict. There was a dispute here in May 2021 as well and the situation could become normal after 11 days. At that time there was a war-like situation between Israel and Hamas. Israel has declared Hamas a terrorist organization.
what did israel say
Israel’s statement has come on what happened here on Wednesday. Israel says that when some agitators wearing masks entered here and they locked it from inside, the Israeli Defense Forces had to enter here. Israel also claimed that stones were thrown at the police by the protesters and they also had weapons. Tension has persisted in the West Bank and Jerusalem for the past several decades. Right now, while the month of Ramzan is going on, it is believed that the situation of violence and tension may increase.
12 people injured in violence
The police entered the Al-Aqsa Mosque with all the equipment to stop the riots. In the early hours when people had entered to offer Namaz, the police also reached. Officers say that stones were thrown at them and even bullets were fired. At least 12 people were injured during clashes at the Al-Aqsa compound in Jerusalem by the Palestinian Red Crescent, Xinhua news agency reported. Contrary to Israel’s claim, the videos which are coming on social media clearly show how the officers are throwing people on the ground while offering Namaz.
Israeli occupation since 1967
On behalf of Hamas, an appeal was made to the people to reach for the security of the Al-Aqsa Mosque. Rockets were fired at Israel from Gaza. In return, Israel carried out airstrikes. People are demonstrating and burning tires on the streets of Gaza. They are raising slogans, ‘We swear to protect the Al-Aqsa Mosque for the rest of our lives.’ Israeli police have arrested 350 people. The Al-Aqsa Mosque is located in the Old City of East Jerusalem. It was captured by Israel in the 1967 war along with the West Bank and Gaza Strip. “We hold Israel responsible for the conflict,” Palestinian presidential spokesman Nabil Abu Rudineh said in a statement. It should act responsibly, otherwise the consequences will be dangerous for all.
Arab countries condemned
Arab countries also condemned this incident. Saudi Arabia said, ‘Israel is harming those offering Namaz.’ Jordan has also condemned the entry of Israeli police into the mosque complex. Egypt said in a statement, ‘condemned Israel’s aggression against Akitadam.’ Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanani on Wednesday strongly condemned the Israeli police attack, saying the attack once again showed the world Israel’s criminal and anti-human rights nature.
