In yet another violent incident across Israeli borders, two women were shot dead on Friday (April 7, 2023) in Israel's West Bank.
The incident was termed to be a
cross-frontier violence reinforced Israeli troops on borders and police raids
were conducted at the Al-Aqsa Mosque of Jerusalem.
Amid fear of an enlarging conflict
there were no serious injuries despite mutual attacks from Israel and
Lebanon,Gaza. Though neither side aimed at intensifying the fight.
"Nobody wants an escalation
right now," an Israeli army spokesman said. "Quiet will be answered
with quiet, at this stage I think, at least in the coming hours."
One official with a Palestinian
militant group told Reuters they were ready to keep calm should Israel do the
same, with the group having "made its point".
During the Holy month of Ramadan, the
Friday prayers attracting a large crowd went peacefully at the Al-Aqsa-Mosque
without any major violence except for some stone pelting. The Israeli police
forces were deployed at the place without them entering the compound as the
Palestinians and Jordans revere holy sites as Temple Mount, a vestige of two
biblical temples.
The Al-Aqsa Mosque was raided by
Israeli Police this week in an attempt to remove agitators residing in the
mosque which drew a lot of condemnation from Arabs as it is the duty of Muslims
stay at the mosques and pray at night.
Currently, the Israeli government is
aiming at expanding Jewish presence in the West Bank with new settlements
including anti Palestinian State supporters as members.
