JERUSALEM,
April 9, 2014 (WAFA) – Al-Aqsa Foundation revealed that the Israeli authorities
recently started to dig a new tunnel beneath al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, to be
connected to a previously opened network of tunnels, a statement on Wednesday
by Al-Aqsa Foundation said.
The
foundation, which has recently noticed more tunnel tracks being excavated
beneath the mosque, said its field staff had detected that the excavations have
reached beneath the foundations of the mosque building.
Excavations
beneath Al-Aqsa Mosque and the old city of Jerusalem pose a grave peril to the
sustainability of the mosque building which is liable to collapse at any point
of time due to the excavations.
