Attack on al-Aqsa
The Hamas resistance movement has vowed a swift response to Israeli attacks against Palestinian worshipers at al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied al-Quds. A Hamas spokesperson described the raids as a violation of sanctities and freedom of worship. He added that the Israeli regime is deluded if it assumes it can force the Palestinians to leave by committing such crimes. On Friday, Israeli forces attacked Palestinians at al-Aqsa Mosque with tear gas and rubber bullets. At least eight Palestinians, including an elderly person, were injured. In recent months, the Israeli regime has intensified its crackdown on Palestinians in the occupied territories, launching daily raids and attacking al-Aqsa. At least 230 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces this year.
Plight of Rohingya Muslims
Rohingya Muslim refugees in Bangladesh have been marking the sixth anniversary of their exodus from Myanmar following a military-led crackdown. Large crowds gathered in the district of Cox's Bazar, which is considered the largest refugee camp in the world. A community leader addressed the emotional crowds, who see no future for themselves. Rohingyas have been denied citizenship in Myanmar and live in dire conditions in Bangladesh’s overcrowded camps. Hundreds of thousands of them crossed into Bangladesh in 2017, after a crackdown by Myanmar’s military and Buddhist groups, which included mass killings and gang rapes as well as arson attacks. The UN has described Rohingya as the most persecuted minority in the world and their tragedy as a textbook example of ethnic cleansing.
