JCSER: Israel plans to establish a new infrastructure for the Old City in J’lem

OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)-- The Jerusalem center for social and economic rights (JCSER) said Wednesday that Israel intends to establish a new infrastructure for the Old City in occupied Jerusalem, noting that this two-year project is aimed at Judaizing the whole city and putting more economic pressure on Jerusalemites to force them to leave.

The center affirmed that merchants in the Old City told it that the Israeli occupation authority (IOA) informed them about this project and ordered them to close their stores for long months.

The JCSER noted that this project has nothing to do with improving the infrastructure for the Palestinians living inside the holy city but it is related to a complex network of tunnels under the city.

It added that this project includes a plan to install over 150 new surveillance cameras in all alleys and streets of the Old City as well as inside the tunnels and in the vicinity and walls of the Aqsa Mosque.
