GAZA, August 9, 2025 (WAFA) – Dozens of Israeli colonists stormed the Bab al-Rahma Islamic Cemetery, adjacent to the Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied Jerusalem, on Saturday morning.
Local sources reported that colonists stormed the Bab al-Rahma Cemetery and performed Talmudic rituals at the Gate of Mercy in the middle of the cemetery.
During the incursion, the colonists also performed provocative dances on top of the graves.
The cemetery is undergoing excavations by Israeli authorities in preparation for building a station for a colonist cable car project surrounding the Old City, with the aim of seizing it later.
The Bab al-Rahma Cemetery covers an area of approximately 23 dunams and contains the graves of prominent Islamic figures, including the Companions of the Prophet Ubada ibn al-Samit and Shaddad ibn Aws, as well as those of fighters who participated in the liberation of Jerusalem during the Umar ibn al-Khattab and Ayyubid eras.
