Israeli police prevented on Monday the burial of a Palestinian woman in Bab al-Rahmah cemetery near to al-Aqsa Mosque in Occupied Jerusalem alleging that the grave is located on an Israeli-owned land.
According to Quds Press agency the Israeli police forces besieged the cemetery and denied the burial of Khadija Abu Doula after the funeral prayer was performed in al-Aqsa Mosque.
Tension heightened in the area as Israeli policemen ordered the dead woman’s family to find another grave since the grave prepared previously was now part of an Israeli land the agency added.
It said that Israeli policemen arrested two Jerusalemite young men participating in the funeral and took them to Qishleh center for investigation.
The Israeli practice is part of dozens of attacks on the cemetery by either the Israeli police forces or the members of the Israel Nature and Parks Authority who regularly storm the cemetery and demolish its gravestones.
