He, therefore, called on the Palestinian people, especially in Occupied Jerusalem to revolt against the occupation's aggression against Jerusalem and to gather at the Yusufiyah cemetery to deter Israeli ongoing attacks in the cemetery.
He also called for popular support to the people of the Batn al-Hawa neighborhood in face of "the zionist scheme aimed at displacing and uprooting them from their homes."
Meanwhile, Israeli municipality and israel’s Nature Reserve Authority crews continued Tuesday morning to destroy graves of dead Palestinians and level land at Al-Yusufiyah cemetery, located just below the historic wall of Occupied Jerusalem, despite strong protests from families of those buried there.
The israeli municipality crews destroyed several headstones and graves in the cemetery on Monday as they proceed to level it as part of the zionist regime’s efforts to change the Arab and Islamic character of the occupied holy city.
A few days ago, the israeli municipality demolished part of the cemetery, exposing human remains buried in a section where Arab soldiers killed during the 1967 war were buried.
The municipality seeks to turn the cemetery into a park and paths as part of its plan to build multiple Talmudic parks and trails for Jewish settlers and tourists around the walls of the Old City.
In December 2020, the municipality demolished a stairway and a fence at the cemetery.
In 2014, it prevented Jerusalemite citizens from burying their relatives in the cemetery’s northern area and removed 20 graves of Jordanian soldiers who were killed in the 1967 war. (ILKHA)
