Lore & Background
The visit itself was peaceful but sparked protests and riots, which Israeli police suppressed with rubber bullets, live ammunition, and tear gas, killing at least 47 Palestinian protesters within the first five days. Within the first few days, the Israeli military fired one million rounds of ammunition. Israeli security forces responded with gunfights, targeted killings, tank attacks, and airstrikes, while Palestinians engaged in gunfights, stone-throwing, and rocket attacks.
