2021 Al-Aqsa Mosque Raid

The 2021 Al-Aqsa Mosque Raid refers to a series of confrontations that occurred in May 2021 at the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, a site revered in both Islam and Judaism (where it's known as the Temple Mount). Tensions escalated due to a variety of factors, leading to Israeli police storming the mosque compound. The clashes involved the use of rubber bullets, stun grenades, and tear gas by the police against the Palestinians, many of whom were present for the last Friday prayers of Ramadan. The incident exacerbated existing tensions and contributed to a broader conflict in the region, including a significant escalation in Gaza.
