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.
