According to Jerusalemite activists, the Israeli occupation mechanisms have been starting for some time with excavation works in the Umayyad Palace area adjacent to the southern fence of the Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa in the occupied city of Al-Quds.

The area of Umayyad palaces is the area adjacent to the lower foundations of the Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa, which is extremely dangerous if excavations continue.

Eyewitnesses explained that the mechanisms, first deliberately clean this area of dirt, then begin to create holes in the south walls of the Masjid’s wall.
