(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Israeli occupation bulldozers and other heavy machinery continued on Thursday to disfigure the occupied holy city by removing some features at Sultan Sulaiman Road between Bab al-Amoud and Bab al-Sahera (two of the most famous gates of the old city).
Israeli contractors had setup iron barricades around the area being bulldozed totally changing the features of the area and uprooting olive trees in preparation for building “Talmudic gardens” in the area.
Rasem Abdel-Wahid, a Palestinian journalist specialized in Jerusalem, said that the area was being guarded by IOF soldiers and that the workers have accelerated the base of their work which does not stop all day.
This project is complementary to a series of other projects near Bab al-Saherah and coincides with other works which the occupation call works of maintenance on the old walls of the holy city.
Important stones were removed from the wall in previous so called maintenance works and were replaced by stones that carry Jewish symbols such as the Jewish menorah and the star of David over the Bab al-Saherah from the inside of the wall in an attempt to falsify the history of the holy city.
