Israel continues demolition of Mughrabi Gate


Zionist regime has been keeping demolishg the Mughrabi gate of the compound housing the Al-Aqsa Mosque, the Al-Aqsa Foundation for Endowments and Heritage said Thursday.

The foundation said in a statement that Israel's excavations at the site had been conducted secretly but were now being carried out publicly.

The group has been monitoring the gate, and says dozens of workers have been demolishing earth and stones at the site.

Workers are also digging up earth around the gate where the foundation says Israeli authorities plan to build a synagogue for women. Under the Mughrabi gate there is another passage, the Messenger gate, which leads to the Al-Aqsa Mosque, the foundation added.

The group called on Islamic, regional and Palestinian leaders to intervene, adding that Israel was resuming demolitions in the area despite a decision to suspend work.

The compound, the Haram al-Sharif, is in the old walled city of al-Quds ('Jerusalem'), which Israel captured along with the West Bank in a 1967 war and usurped.
