PA says Israel carrying out secret excavations and demolitions under Al Aqsa Mosque

The Palestinian Authority’s Jerusalem Governorate has accused Israeli authorities of carrying out secret excavations and demolitions beneath the Al Aqsa Mosque compound. According to a statement based on leaked footage, these operations are deliberately targeting Islamic antiquities from the Umayyad period. The authority claims the goal is to erase the mosque’s Islamic heritage in preparation for a future Jewish temple, calling the works a violation of international law.
