EventAnti-Israel rallies will likely be held across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region to mark Al-Quds (Jerusalem) Day on April 14, the last Friday of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. Rallies may be particularly confrontational or significant in the Palestinian Territories and nearby states, such as Jordan and Lebanon, due to recent developments in Israel and the Palestinian Territories. Since the incident, Israeli security forces have increased their presence near the mosque and surrounding areas in anticipation of additional violence. The Israeli security forces are reportedly on high alert for further unrest and rocket attacks; militants have recently fired projectiles from southern Lebanon and Gaza into Israel. The most significant rallies are typically held in that country.
