Israeli excavations blamed for latest Silwan collapse Jerusalem – Ma'an – The Al-Aqsa Foundation for Endowment and Heritage reported another street collapse on the main road in the area of Silwan in occupied East Jerusalem on Saturday. "The collapse created a hole, two meters long and one and a half meters deep," according to a statement from the foundation, which oversees the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound. According to the foundation, the collapse was related to ongoing excavations by Israeli authorities in the vicinity, apparently on tunnels extending underneath the neighborhood about 700 meters from the mosque compound. Authorities recently removed quantities of dirt and rocks from under Silwan to undisclosed locations, the statement said. ----------------------- WAKE UP MUSLIMS! Al Aqsa is in real immediate danger! "Israeli excavations and continuing digging right beneath the Haram al Sharif’s esplanade have already caused irreparable damage to the stability of Al-Aqsa Mosque’s foundations." Sheikh Raed Salah, leader of the Islamic Movement "I have no doubt that the Aqsa foundations have been greatly weakened due to these tunnels and other excavations," continues Sheikh Salah. "You don’t have to be a great architect to realize this. We have already seen holes and cracks all over the area." Sheikh Salah says he is completely certain Israel wants to destroy Al-Aqsa Mosque. "They want to do it in a way that would appear as is happening as a result of natural causes, such an earthquake." Salah says that Israel has a "diabolical plan" and is acting on it while Muslims are still just watching and contenting themselves with verbal protestations. |
