While Israel s military offensive against Gaza may have taken the spotlight off the expulsion of Palestinian families from Jerusalem, its bid to engineer demographic changes in the occupied city and control the Noble Sanctuary of Al-Aqsa have serious implications for the struggle to liberate occupied Palestine. The trigger of the current crises was the eviction of Palestinian families from Sheikh Jarrah, a predominantly Palestinian neighbourhood in East Jerusalem, just over a mile to the north of the Old City, on the road to Mount Al-Masharif. This spiralled into protests before Israeli police attacked worshippers inside Al-Aqsa Mosque on the auspicious Night of Al-Qadr on 10 May.

An article, titled We Are Fighting In Iraq And Syria And Our Eyes Are On Al-Quds, in Issue 16 of the ISIS magazine Sawt Al-Hind includes a photo of an ISIS flag put up outside the main gate at a central mosque in Kashmir, maybe in the capital city of Srinagar, while a message written on a second banner accompanying the flag declares: We are fighting in Iraq and Syria and our eyes are on Al-Quds – Wilayah Hind. Wilayah Hind refers to the India Province of the Islamic State (ISIS). Islamist groups use Al-Quds interchangeably to refer to Jerusalem or to all of Palestine. In the article, the words accompanying the flag are expanded to include Afghanistan: We are fighting in Iraq, Sham [Syria], Khurasan [Afghanistan], but by Allah, our eyes are on al-Aqsa. The article comes amid recent fighting between Israel and the Palestinians.
