Israel stops Muslim burials in Al-Qods graveyard

By: Ahmed Hammadi

HELD JERUSALEM: Israel has been preventing Palestinians for several months from burying their dead in a Muslim cemetery at the foot of Held Jerusalem’s Al-Aqsa mosque.

This was told by the sources on both sides.

On order from Public Security Minister Avi Dichter, Muslims can no longer bury their dead in an 800-square-metre stretch of the cemetery that borders the eastern wall of the compound, revered by Jews and Muslims.

Adnan Husseini of the Higher Islamic Council said: “For more than six months, Israeli police have prevented Palestinians from burying their dead in this area, already home to several tombs in which bodies have been buried.”

“They are maintaining the land in question is not part of the cemetery but earmarked as an archaeological park. That is not true and we have documents proving that this land is part of the cemetery,” he added.


 
  "Knowledge is better than wealth because it protects you while you have to guard wealth. it decreases if you keep on spending it but the more you make use of knowledge ,the more it increases . what you get through wealth disappears as soon as wealth disappears but what you achieve through knowledge will remain even after you."MORE ..
