The Endowments Council in Jerusalem warns of the danger of the occupation’s excavations in the vicinity of Al-Aqsa

Occupied Jerusalem (ST): The Council of Endowments, Islamic Affairs and Holy Sanctuaries in Jerusalem warned of the danger of excavations and suspicious actions carried out by the Israeli occupation authorities in the vicinity of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, which is adjacent to the external foundation of the Al-Haram Al-Sharif, calling for an immediate halt to these suspicious excavations and an end to the tampering and sabotage of religious and historical sites.

The Endowments Council said in a statement carried by Ma’an Agency that it is following with great severity the excavations and the suspicious and ambiguous actions that the occupation authorities have been carrying out for some time in the vicinity of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, especially from the southern and western sides in the areas of Al-Buraq Wall and the Umayyad palaces, and these areas are a valid Islamic endowment, warning of continuing to tamper with, sabotage and change the historical and religious landmarks of these historical endowment sites.

The statement explained that the occupation authorities use bulldozers and large excavating machines to work with a suspicious wheel in the courtyard of the Al-Buraq Wall and in the area of the Umayyad palaces in the area adjacent to the lower foundations of Al-Aqsa Mosque by emptying the dirt and making holes in the walls adjacent to the southern wall of the mosque and emptying the corridors in an attempt to hide the excavations they are doing in addition to the crushing operations that have been going on for months on important archaeological stones, as they are turned into small stones in order to obliterate them and hide their traces.
