The Israeli authorities continued Judaization plans in Occupied Jerusalem as part of ongoing preparations to build the alleged temple.
New Israeli excavations were carried out in the Umayyad Palaces area south of the Aqsa Mosque on Friday.
In 1976 Israel took control of the Umayyad Palaces area and started over the past few years to promote it as a Jewish area to attract more settler visitors.
The Umayyad palaces are part of the Aqsa Mosque with an area of 80 dunums.
The Umayyad Palaces area extends from the western corner of the Aqsa Mosque to the eastern corner behind the Marwani prayer hall and from the southern Aqsa wall to the Wadi Hilweh neighborhood.
