The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is one of the biggest hostilities in the world. Israel has occupied the Gaza strip for 53 years now. This issue of war in Palestine has been going on for a long time which the United Nations have failed to resolve.
Palestine is a mixed state of Muslims, Christians and Jews. For Muslims, Palestine has a significant place due to the presence of the Al-Aqsa Mosque. Last few days, the public noticeably highlighted the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In this article, you’ll get to know more about what happened in Palestine and Israel.
Attack at Al Aqsa Mosque, war in Palestine
The circumstances became worst when Israeli forces attacked the civilians worshipping in Masjid- Al-Aqsa. The Israeli forces broke into the mosque on 10th May (Last Jummah of Ramadan) and started killing weaponless Palestinians.
Moreover, the world officials remained silent on this issue. As a result, Hamas warned Israel to withdraw and started firing rockets on Israel. The killing in Israel is very less as compared to the brutality in Gaza.
Destruction in Palestine | Ethnic Cleansing
The eleven days of ethnic cleansing led to the death of approximately 248 people in Gaza, including 66 children. Furthermore, 12 people were killed in Israel. The media worldwide did not cover the brutality.
But social media played a significant role in highlighting the casualties. According to the UN, around 58,000 Palestinians are displaced internally. However, Israeli bombardments included not only homes but also schools and offices.
Israel and Hamas both claim victory as fragile ceasefire holds
The conflict led to big destruction. Moreover, the officials also said that it would take a lot of time to rebuild the destruction in Palestine. Israel and Hamas both assured a ceasefire on 21st May 2021 at 2:00 am, the local time.
As a result, the Palestinians came out of their homes. They were happy and celebrated the ceasefire. The citizens waved the Palestinian flag and fired into the air. However, the conflict remains at the same place. The issue between Israel and Gaza needs a permanent solution.
The after-effects of the ceasefire are still unknown. People worldwide, especially Palestinians, want a permanent solution to this issue. The truce came into effect for up to 24 hours. The dire humanitarian condition in Gaza and war in Palestine worsened after the 11-day dispute.
