The Palestinian Red Crescent says that 80 Palestinians have been injured in this incident and 14 people have been taken to the hospital. Israeli police say that a police officer has been injured in this incident of violent clashes. This incident has come to light when Jewish settlers (people who are settled in Palestine) have claimed the land of the Palestinian people. This is why Palestinian people are demonstrating for fear of losing their homes.
More than 200 Palestinians injured in violence on Friday
The hospital and police said that more than 200 Palestinians and at least 17 Israeli policemen were injured on Friday in the complex of Al-Aqsa mosque (Al-Aqsa mosque) and violence surrounding it. The Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem is one of the holiest sites in Islam, but its place is also the holiest site in Judaism, known as Temple Mount. This complex has always been the center of controversy. But the violence on Friday was the most violent in many years.
Violence erupted near Damascus Gate
On Saturday, Namazi reached the Al-Aqsa Mosque in the number of tens of thousands to recite Namaz on the occasion of ‘Lialat-al-Krad’, the most sacred night of Ramadan. After Namaz, violence erupted at Damascus Gate. Earlier, the Israeli police had stopped dozens of buses, through which devotees were going to the mosque. At the same time, hundreds of Palestinian people were also arrested in connection with the violence on Friday. A Palestinian citizen said that they (Israelis) do not want us to offer Namaz. Every day there is a fight, there is a clash everyday. Trouble arises every day.
After all, what is the reason for the dispute?
After the war in the Middle East in 1967, Israel annexed East Jerusalem and accepted the entire city as its capital. However, it is not recognized by the international community. The Palestinian people believe that East Jerusalem is the capital of their future independence. The reason for the dispute is the evacuation of Palestinian families from Sheikh Jarrah District in East Jerusalem. There is a plan to settle Jewish settlers here, for which Palestinians are demonstrating. At the same time, the Supreme Court of Israel is going to hear the matter on Monday.
