As tensions continue to escalate in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine, reports of violence and human rights violations continue to surface. In recent days, Israeli troops have been accused of multiple attacks on Palestinian civilians and holy sites, leading to widespread condemnations from around the world.
One such incident occurred at the entrance of the Al Aqsa Mosque, where eyewitnesses claim that Israeli police shot and killed a 26-year-old Palestinian man, Mohammed Alasibi, after he tried to prevent them from harassing a woman on her way to the holy compound. Alasibi was reportedly shot at least 10 times by police.
Another incident involved the killing of Mohammed Baradyah, a 23-year-old member of the Palestine security forces, who Israeli troops allege rammed his car into a group of soldiers, injuring three men. The Palestinian Authority has identified Baradyah as the slain man.
In a raid of the occupied West Bank, Israeli forces also killed two Palestinians in a recent attack, as violence continues to surge in the area amid daily Israeli arrest raids in Palestinian-controlled areas.
In a particularly egregious incident, Israeli troops stormed the Al Aqsa Mosque, severely beating innocent Palestinian worshippers, wounding dozens and violating the sanctity of the holy site. Palestinian witnesses say Israeli police burst into the mosque by force, armed with batons, tear gas grenades, and smoke bombs, and beat both men and women worshippers.
These incidents have drawn widespread condemnations from around the world, with Turkish President Erdogan calling on Israel to stop the attacks and stating that Al Aqsa Mosque is Türkiye’s “red line.” Iran has also sought an emergency meeting of the OIC over the Israeli violence in Palestine.
In response to the Israeli incursions and ransacking of the Al Aqsa Mosque during Ramadan prayers, rocket fire was launched from Gaza and Lebanon, prompting Israeli airstrikes in both regions. Two people were killed in the West Bank in the aftermath of these strikes.
Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar has denounced the “aggressive attitude” of the Israeli administration and called for an immediate end to the attacks, warning that they will only escalate chaos in the region. As the conflict continues to unfold, the world waits and watches, hoping for an end to the violence and a peaceful resolution to the ongoing conflict.
