Israeli forces ransack Muslims’ cemetery near Aqsa Mosque

Friday 16-March-2018

Israel’s Nature Authority staff members on Thursday morning stormed Bab al-Rahma Cemetery adjacent to the holy al-Aqsa Mosque.

Israel’s Nature Authority crews escorted by armed troops stormed the cemetery marked Muslims’ graves and took measurements of the cemetery’s edges.

Director-General of the Islamic Endowment Aazzam al-Khatib showed up in the area to keep tabs on the Israeli assault.

A few days earlier Israeli military forces assaulted Bab al-Sahira Cemetery in Occupied Jerusalem where bodies of Palestinian protesters killed in the 2015 anti-occupation intifada have been buried.

The aggression culminated in the destruction of the headstones of the tombs of over 10 Palestinians murdered by the occupation forces during the uprising.
