OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)-- Al-Aqsa foundation for endowment and heritage reported Monday that the plot of cave-ins in the main street between the town of Silwan and the Aqsa Mosque has widened significantly as a result of the ongoing Israeli excavations under the town.
In a press statement published by Quds Press, the foundation held the Israeli occupation authorities (IOA) fully responsible for the consequences of land subsidence happening in the holy city and any damage or harm inflicted on the Jerusalemite people, their homes or the Aqsa Mosque.
The foundation said it followed up closely these cave-ins which became remarkably 10 meters longer, two meters wider and three meters deeper, noting that there is another collapse in the sidewalk of the main street.
The foundation warned that the IOA tries to spread hearsay and rumors saying that the cave-ins which happened two days ago were because of the explosion of underground water lines or sewers, affirming that Israel can never hide its violations and excavations under the holy city.
It pointed out that the IOA, when it started to build tunnels underneath Ein Silwan mosque in 2004, alleged then that the excavations were carried out to repair sewers, but after a while it turned the area into a tourist Jewish shrine.
