Dozens of seclusion tents in Al-Aqsa Mosque during Ramadan (Al-Jazeera)
Occupied Jerusalem -
With the entry of the last ten days of the month of Ramadan, about 3,000 Palestinians from Jerusalem and the 48 territories began to seclude themselves in the Al-Aqsa Mosque, and today they are preparing the final hours of departure.
Increasingly, this year, we noticed the spread of small personal tents for young retreatants who isolated themselves from the outside, left their jobs and devoted themselves to worship and supplication, but they will leave the place to which their hearts are attached in the hope of meeting again next Ramadan.
The occupation refuses to leave its mark even on the most important days for Muslims, as it raided a number of tents and arrested dozens of retreatants during the last days.
