From 10 to 21 May 2021 Hamas fought the "Sword of Jerusalem" battle with Israel after the events of Sheikh Jarrah and al-Aqsa; rockets were fired from South Lebanon, and the young man Mohammed Tahhan was shot dead by Israeli fire on the border, while Khaldeh saw a clash the same day between Hezbollah supporters and Arab clans. Three days earlier, on Quds Day, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah had said that "the Palestinians are facing with bare hands an army, police and settlers armed to the teeth" in Sheikh Jarrah and al-Aqsa, and linked Gaza's entry into the battle to "protecting the al-Aqsa Mosque and the people of Jerusalem".
