Palestine:- On March 8, 2021, Israel’s police attacked Muslim worshippers inside Al-Aqsa Mosque while they were performing tarawihs. Israel attacked Al-Aqsa Mosque, the Damascus Gate of the old city and the Sheikh Jarrah district in East Jerusalem. Al-Aqsa Mosque is the world’s third-holiest site for Muslims. Jews call the area the "Temple Mount," claiming it was the site of two Jewish temples in ancient times. Israel occupied East Jerusalem, where Al-Aqsa is located, during the 1967 Arab Israeli war. It annexed the entire city in 1980 in a move recognized by the international community. The last violence erupted on May 10, when Israel launched air raids on Gaza after Hamas, the Palestinian group which controls the territory, fired rockets into Israel. At least 222 people have been killed in the Israeli bombardment of Gaza, according to health authorities, including 63 children. The bombardment began after the Palestinian resistance groups in Gaza responded to more than 20 days of Israeli violence against Palestinian worshippers in Al-Aqsa Mosque, and Israel’s refusal to abandon plans to expel a number of Palestinian families from their homes in Jerusalem’s Sheikh Jarrah neighbourhood. The homes were to be handed over to illegal Jewish settlers through a lengthy and false legal process. Israel’s goals in attacking Gaza included the destruction of the resistance infrastructure and the re-imposition of the army’s deterrence. The settlers have played a key role in Israel’s act of terrorism on innocent Palestinians since 1947. Settlements are Jewish communities in historic Palestine built by the Zionist movement pre-1948 and thereafter by the state of Israel. These communities can range in size from single-person outposts to entire cities. One of the first settlements built by Zionist was Tel Aviv in the early 20th century. Eventually, as the Jewish immigration from Europe increased, Zionists began acquiring more plots of land for settlement. After the military assaults of 1948-50, Zionist armed forces, subsequently transformed into the Israeli army, constructed Jewish settlements over the ruins of Palestinian towns and villages throughout the 78 percent of historic Palestine they controlled.
