Israeli authorities dug up Muslim graves in Maman Allah cemetery west of Occupied Jerusalem to pave the way for establishing settlement projects aimed at Judaizing and changing the status quo in the holy city.
Mustafa Abu Zahra Chairman of the Committee for the Care of Islamic Cemeteries in Jerusalem said that a huge grave including 8 skulls and skeletons that belong to Muslims who were buried in the cemetery many years ago was exposed as a result of the excavations.
He told Quds Press that Israeli settlement projects have ate 70 per cent of the graveyard’s area which was estimated at 200 dunums. He called on competent authorities to intervene in order to halt such Israeli violations.
