OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)-- The Aqsa foundation for endowment and heritage revealed Sunday that the IOA will open soon a large synagogue 50 meters away from the Aqsa Mosque built on Islamically-endowed (Waqf) land in the Hammam Al-Ein area and near the Buraq wall.

 

The foundation said the IOA and Zionist institutions such as the Itoret Kuhanim organization intends to open the synagogue in the area soon, where the final building works are continuing throughout day and night hours. 

According to the foundation, there will be two main gates for this synagogue, one is located at entrances leading to Jerusalimite houses belonging to the families of Al-Zarba and Awadallah at the expense of Islamically-endowed land and the other is a rear door located within the borders of Awadallah houses.

The Israeli police also threatened the Jerusalemite families with arrest and detention if they interfered in the building works going on in their real estate.

The foundation pointed out that the building of this synagogue started two years ago after Itoret Kuhanim seized a vast area of land of Hammam Al-Ein.

The IOA has recently connected the tunnels at the bottom of the synagogue to the tunnels extending from beneath the Buraq wall along the western wall of the Aqsa Mosque, the foundation added.

It warned that the Israeli aims of building the synagogue of this length and size are to hide the overall view of the Aqsa Mosque especially the dome of the rock, to raise the number of Jewish visitors to the tunnels around and beneath the holy Mosque and to encroach nearer into the Mosque.

The foundation added that the synagogue is aimed to tighten the screws on Jerusalemites until they leave the old city as a prelude to judaize it.
