Incessant Israeli incursions on Islamic sites in Occupied Palestinians have resulted in mounting tension between the two sides and manifest as fierce riots and clashes.
MEMO manages to speak to a Palestinian protestor [or known as a defender of Al-Aqsa] who explains why he resorts to such hardcore resistance.
In contrast MEMO also speaks to a worshipper who tells us about passive forms of resistance.
The last 10 days of Ramadan saw a spike in settlers attempting to raid Al-Aqsa mosque despite an agreement which stated that there should not be a Jewish presence in Al-Aqsa during Ramadan, especially during the last 1- days. In one instance worshippers resorted to using leftover food from their suhoor meal (the meal eaten before sunrise) as a weapon against rubber bullets.
