Israeli forces destroy Muslim graves in Jerusalem al-Quds to build a park
‘Israeli bulldozers have reportedly demolished several Muslim graves in addition to a wall at a cemetery in occupied Old City of Jerusalem al-Quds as the Tel Aviv regime goes ahead with its total disrespect for human and religious values.
The head of the Committee for the Preservation of Islamic Cemeteries in Jerusalem al-Quds, Mustafa Abu Zahra, told Arabic-language Wafa news agency that Israeli bulldozers rolled into Martyrs’ Cemetery near the Lions’ Gate to the al-Aqsa Mosque, tearing down a wall and destroying a number of graves there.
Abu Zahra noted that the cemetery contained the remains of 400 Palestinians, who were killed during the Six-Day War fought on June 5-10, 1967 between the Israeli regime, on the one side, and Egypt, Jordan, and Syria, on the other.
He explained that work had been suspended in the area, while his committee would take all necessary legal measures to prevent the desecration of the cemetery again.’
