Israeli forces raid Kifl Haris overnight for religious visit
Picture
Israeli forces stormed the village of Kifl Haris on Friday in order to escort a large group of Jewish Israelis to the village as they visited three religious sites in the northern West Bank village.

Israeli forces erected checkpoints throughout the village and blocked major intersections throughout the raid, which began around midnight and lasted until sunrise.

During this time, locals were prevented from moving freely through the streets, and they said that the members of the visiting Jewish group "provoked" locals who did venture out.

The soldiers escorted hundreds of religious Jews, who locals said yelled in the streets of the village and chanted anti-Arab slogans during their visit.

An Israeli army spokesman confirmed the visit, saying that the military has "coordinated the entrance of several hundred Israeli civilians" to Joshua's tomb.

A number of tombs exist in Kifl Haris that are believed to be the graves of local holy people but which some Jews believe to be the tombs of biblical figures Joshua, Caleb, and Nun.

Palestinians who live in the area, however, consider these shrines to be the graves of the prophet Dhul-Kifl, the Sufi saint Dhul-Nun, and another shrine built by Saladin.

Visits by Israeli Jews to sites in areas under Palestinian control across the West Bank often cause tensions with locals, as these visits are accompanied by large armed escorts.

Palestinians are restricted from visiting holy sites in Israel, meanwhile, without hard-to-obtain permits from government authorities.

Settlers attack 7-year-old girl in south Hebron hills
Picture
Israeli settlers attacked a Palestinian family in the south Hebron hills on Thursday, injuring a seven-year-old girl, a peace group said.

At midday on Thursday, two settlers riding a quad bike attacked four children and their mother with stones as they were returning from school to the villages of Tuba and Maghayir al-Abeed, Operation Dove said.

A seven-year-old was hit by a stone and fell while attempting to escape, injuring her head. She required five stitches for her wound.

The family was attacked while using the only available path without requiring a military escort, which usually accompanies children from Tuba and Maghayir al-Abeed to their school due to the threat of settler violence.

The settlers were reportedly from the illegal outpost of Havat Maon, one of the most radical settlements in the occupied West Bank.

Settler outposts in the south Hebron hills have an adverse effect on local Palestinian communities through a combination of physical violence and restrictions on movement.

Located in Area C, Palestinians in the south Hebron hills suffer from extreme electricity and water shortages and face violent intimidation from the Israeli army and radical settlers.

Less than 1 percent of Area C has been planned for Palestinian development, while some 135 settlements and over 100 outposts have been built in the same area.

Israel tightens grip around al-Aqsa mosque
Picture
Powerful Israeli settler group set to take charge of projects around the most important Islamic holy site in Jerusalem.

A right-wing Israeli settlement group has been put in charge of two controversial new projects to develop the area around al-Haram al-Sharif, or Noble Sanctuary, the compound of holy sites that includes al-Aqsa mosque and the golden-topped Dome of the Rock. Elad received planning approval this month to develop a huge visitors’ centre, called the Kedem complex, in a former car park just outside the Old City walls in the Palestinian neighbourhood of Silwan. While the visitors’ centre will give Elad a base less than 20 metres from the Old City, a second project could extend its reach to the retaining wall of al-Aqsa mosque itself.

Al-Haram al-Sharif compound has been the most contested piece of territory in the Holy Land since Israel occupied Jerusalem’s Old City in 1967, along with the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Tensions have been heightened recently, as extremist Jews have begun entering the compound in larger numbers, with quiet backing from Israeli officials. The groups have sought to overturn a long-standing rabbinical prohibition on praying on the Temple Mount.

Israeli housing minister Uri Ariel, a hardline settler himself, chose Elad to manage an area known as the Jerusalem Archaeological Park, immediately south of the Western Wall. Renovations there will extend the prayer area for Jews. Last week, the Jerusalem Magistrates Court put Elad’s management of the park on hold until it ruled on the deal.

Yehudit Oppenheimer, director of Ir Amim, an Israeli group advocating fair treatment for Palestinians in Jerusalem, said the Kedem complex was the final piece Israel needed to secure its complete control over the area around al-Haram al-Sharif: "Now tourists will enter from Jaffa Gate [an entrance from West Jerusalem into the Old City], walk through the Jewish quarter, see the Western Wall, visit the City of David and get their information from the Kedem complex," she told Al Jazeera.

She said the experience would reinforce both the idea of Israel’s physical control of the area and a hardline nationalist narrative associated with Israel’s far right. "The sites and signs will look Israeli; all the information and tours will consolidate an exclusively Jewish narrative," Oppenheimer said. "Most Israeli and foreign tourists will have no idea that they are in Palestinian territory. It will feel to them like they are still in Israel."

Israeli authorities have already given Elad large areas of Silwan, even though it is located in occupied East Jerusalem, to excavate an archaeological park called the City of David, disrupting the lives of 35,000 Palestinians. Elad had helped some 300 settlers take over Palestinian homes in the area, creating armed encampments around the park, according to Ahmed Qaraeen, a Silwan community leader.

The City of David is the only example of a private organisation gaining control of a national park in Israel, giving it effectively governmental powers. Normally, an archaeological park would be jointly run by the Antiquities Authority and the Nature and Parks Authority. Israel’s High Court backed the special arrangement with Elad in 2012 after receiving assurances that its work would be closely supervised by the Parks Authority. An internal report from the authority in January, however, revealed the promise was ignored and Elad had unchecked control over the City of David and provided almost all of the information and tours to visitors.

According to Kais Nasser, a Palestinian lawyer who represents "The Islamic Council within the Green Line", a coalition of Islamic groups inside Israel, allowing Elad to develop the two sites is "outrageous".

"It is an organisation with a clear agenda to bring settlers into Palestinian parts of East Jerusalem. Now its control will reach right up to the limits of the mosques," Nasser told Al Jazeera.

Last month, European Union diplomats in Jerusalem warned in an internal report leaked to the Israeli media: "There remains a significant risk that incidents at this highly sensitive site, or perceived threats to the status quo, may spark extreme reactions locally as well as across the Arab and Muslim world." They were especially concerned that changes by Israel might serve as a prelude to dividing control of the al-Haram al-Sharif compound, or to offering separate prayer times for Muslims and Jews.

That would echo what happened in Hebron, where extremist settlers were given rights over part of the Ibrahimi mosque – or what Israelis call the Tomb of the Patriarchs. The site quickly turned into a flashpoint that is remembered for the massacre of Muslim worshippers by a Jewish settler, Baruch Goldstein, in 1994.

Daniel Seideman, a lawyer who is an expert on Israeli policies in Jerusalem, said the Israeli government was increasing its efforts to create “settlement enclaves” in Palestinian neighbourhoods and thereby "Hebronise Jerusalem".

Elad’s visitor centre is expected to substantially increase the number of Israeli and foreign visitors to the City of David. The Jerusalem municipality, which backed the project, has said the Kedem complex was the cornerstone of its efforts to increase the number of tourists to the City of David to "some 20 million annually". Tourism to the site has grown quickly over the past decade, with the number of visitors rocketing from 25,000 in 2001 to some 500,000 today.

Uniquely, the new visitor centre, which will reportedly be more than 16,000sqr m, is to be built over important archaeological remains that have been excavated over the past decade.

"Elad says the building will protect these remains, but the reality is that they will inevitably be damaged. Nowhere else in the world would you find a site of this importance being treated this way," said Yonathan Mizrachi, head of Emek Shaveh, an organisation of Israeli archaeologists opposed to using archaeology for political ends.

The Jerusalem municipality was unavailable for comment.

Zeev Orenstein, a spokesman for Elad, denied suggestions that the Kedem complex would promote an exclusively Jewish narrative of Jerusalem. He said it would exhibit the "antiquities of the many civilisations that once inhabited ancient Jerusalem… in a way in which all people will be able to appreciate their significance".

Community activists in Silwan, meanwhile, warned that their homes were being physically damaged by the excavations, some of which extend under their houses. Qaraeen, who lives a few metres from the intended site of the Kedem complex, said his home - like many in Silwan - was subject to a demolition order.

"The municipality says we cannot have planning permits because Silwan lacks a master plan. And yet this massive visitor centre can get planning approval from the municipality and the planning authorities, even though it is supposed to be in a national park. Elad is like a state within a state - different rules apply."

He added that Israel was trying to force Palestinians into "ghettos".

"None of us can get permits to create businesses, such as a restaurant or guest house, to benefit from the tourism. Israel wants to make sure visitors don’t interact with us or hear our stories."

Israel to turn Mughrabi Gate to synagogue for Jewish women (Photos)
Picture
Israeli occupation authorities have started practically turning parts of Mughrabi Gate pathway adjacent to the western wall of the Al-Aqsa mosque to a synagogue for women, Al-Aqsa Foundation for Waqf and Heritage said. The foundation added in a statement on Wednesday  that the Israeli authorities erected wooden pillars in the last few days on a large part of the Mughrabi Gate pathway, then it covered theses pillars with a wooden roof, installed  fans and put chairs and tables.

During the Easter holiday for Jewish , women began to enter the roofed site , and perform prayers and Talmudic rituals which means that this area has become a synagogue for Jewish women, the foundation reported.

It confirmed that this crime is added to a series of crimes against the Palestinians' lands in the Mughrabi Gate, noting that the occupation is going to Judaize the whole way ,even if it start gradually.

The foundation called on the importance taking serious actions to stop the Judaization projects in Jerusalem.

Radwan calls on Arabs and Muslims to defend holy al-Aqsa
Picture
Dr. Ismail Radwan, Palestinian Minister of Endowments and Religious Affairs, has called on Arabs and Muslims across the world to defend Occupied Jerusalem and holy al-Aqsa Mosque against Israeli desecration conspiracies. Radwan raised alarm bells over what he considered “an unbearable pre-arranged vandalism against our holy Islamic site; often carried out through frequent break-ins, desecration tours, and excavation procedures aimed at offending the Muslim Nation and laying down the foundation for the alleged temple.” 

Radwan’s call was issued on a statement on Tuesday following the provocative al-Aqsa break-ins carried out by more than 20 Israeli extremists via al-Maghareba gate under massive protection by Israeli security forces.

The mosque’s guardians managed to thwart the attempt by an Israeli extremist, disguised as a tourist, to break into the mosque.

According to Radwan, Israeli break-ins and Judaization conspiracies against Occupied Jerusalem are carried out under IOA’s orders, often declared by Knesset’s deputy speaker Moshe Feiglin and the extremist Rabbi Yehuda Glick.

Such orders are issued so as to divide al-Aqsa, spatially and temporally, similar to the case with the Ibrahimi mosque, where 29 Muslim peaceful worshippers were massacred by the Israeli extremist Baruch Goldstein 20 years ago after which an Israeli committee recommended dividing the mosque between Muslims and Jews.

Radwan called on the Muslim congregation and sit-inners to keep on staging protest parades to shield al-Aqsa against Israeli desecration plots.

According to Radwan, Israeli violations of the sanctity of holy al-Aqsa Mosque, which has historically been Muslim’s exclusive property, has to be thwarted by all means.

The Special Forces break into Al-Aqsa and the Marabouts thwart the settlers’ break-in
Clashes broke out in Al-Aqsa Mosque when 30 settlers broke into its courtyards through Dung Gate.

Witnesses said that 30 settlers broke into Al-Aqsa Mosque through Dung Gate and while conducting  a tour across from Al-Qibli Mosque, the Marabouts chanted “God is Great” to condemn their break-in.

Witnesses added that the Special Forces broke into the Mosque and assaulted the Marabouts.

They also explained that the Special Forces evacuated the settlers through Al-Silsileh Gate as the Marabouts thwarted the settlers’ break-in and prevented them from continuing their tour.
Officials: Israeli forces raid Aqsa, assault worshipers
Picture
Israeli forces raided the al-Aqsa mosque compound on Tuesday and assaulted several Palestinian worshipers, officials from the ministry of Islamic endowments told Ma'an.

Palestinian worshipers in the compound chanted religious slogans at a group of around 30 right-wing Jews who had entered the area via the Moroccan Gate.

Israeli forces raided the compound following the incident and physically assaulted several worshipers, ministry officials said.

The right-wing group was escorted out of the area by Israeli forces without completing their tour.

Earlier, a right-wing Jewish extremist tried to enter the compound by claiming he was a foreign tourist. Israeli police checked the man's documents and prevented him from entering after discovering he was Israeli, ministry officials added.

Al-Aqsa is located in East Jerusalem, a part of the internationally recognized Palestinian territories that have been occupied by the Israeli military since 1967.

21 settlers desecrate al-Aqsa Mosque
Picture
Israeli extremist settlers stormed Tuesday morning al-Aqsa Mosque from the Mughrabi Gate under Israeli police protection. Mahmoud Abu Atta, media coordinator for the Aqsa Foundation for Endowment and Heritage, told SAFA news agency that 21 Israeli settlers stormed in the morning hours al-Aqsa Mosque’s courtyards and remained for half an hour before leaving.

Palestinian students and worshipers inside the Mosque confronted the settlers' break-in, amid a state of tension, he added.

He stressed that Palestinian presence in al-Aqsa Mosque during the past days have managed to foil Israeli settlers' schemes to break into al-Aqsa Mosque on the Passover holiday.

He stressed the importance of Palestinian continued presence in al-Aqsa Mosque to protect it from Israeli forces and settlers' attacks and violations, saying that the holy mosque is still subjected to Israeli threats.

He hailed Palestinian worshipers' commitment to maintaining vigil and defending al-Aqsa Mosque, pointing out that many of them were injured and subjected to severe beating, while the others were detained and deported from the Mosque.

Abu Atta called for intensifying Palestinian presence in al-Aqsa Mosque, expressing his hope that firmer Arab and Islamic positions in support of al-Aqsa Mosque would be adopted, appreciating at the same time the Jordanian position in response to Israeli attacks on the Mosque.

Al-Aqsa Mosque has been subjected during the last few days to Israeli break-ins and attacks, which led to a state of tension among worshipers many of whom were injured and detained.

IOF soldiers close off Ramallah village for third day
Picture
Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) have unexpectedly erected a military checkpoint at Ramallah city’s northern entrance on Monday night. PIC news reporter said, quoting eye-witnesses, that dozens of Palestinian vehicles were intercepted and searched by IOF and passengers’ IDs were meticulously inspected.

According to a PIC correspondent, the military checkpoint is just a few meters away from PA chairman Mahmoud Abbas’s house.

In the same context, Deir Nidham village, west of Ramallah city, has been closed off for three uninterrupted days.

Palestinian native citizens are denied access out of or into the village, which has been declared a closed military zone by IOF, PIC reporter further maintained.

Hebrew sources claimed that cars belonging to Israeli settlers were thrown with stones and Molotov cocktails near the village. There were no reports of casualties in the process.
