Zionist enemy attacks "Ribat al-Kurd" Islamic Waqf in al-Quds
Occupied al-Quds - Saba: Israeli enemy municipality employees, under police protection, attacked "Ribat al-Kurd" Islamic Waqf in al-Quds. They removed iron panels and dirt and opened the entrance to a stone archway that had been closed for many years in Hosh Shihabi, near Bab al-Hadid (the Iron Gate), one of the gates of al-Aqsa Mosque. Informed sources told the Palestinian Safa News Agency that the area from which the employees removed the dirt and iron supports had been closed for decades. It is adjacent to the western wall of al-Aqsa Mosque and is an Islamic Waqf called "Ribat al-Kurd." The sources explained that the enemy forces erected iron barriers around Hosh Shihabi and sealed it off from all sides while the municipality employees were working there, amid a heavy police presence. The sources added that the Director General of the Islamic Endowments Department in al-Quds, Sheikh Azzam al-Khatib, the Director of Properties, and department employees headed to Hosh Shihabi to inspect the attack taking place at the "Ribat al-Kurd" (Kurdish Quarter), which is an integral part of the western wall of al-Aqsa Mosque. The sources confirmed that the actions of the municipality employees constituted a blatant attack in broad daylight, setting a dangerous precedent with the approval of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. They explained that the employees placed supports on the stone arch, which supports a building belonging to the Shihabi family, and removed a large garbage container from the courtyard, allegedly to carry out maintenance work. The sources emphasized that these excavations, which took place at "Ribat al-Kurd" with the approval of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, are part of a Judaization plan and the establishment of a new reality at the western wall of Al-Aqsa Mosque. This includes expanding Hosh Shihabi to accommodate the largest possible number of settlers, and attempting to open the gate located behind the rubble, which leads to the western tunnel. It's worth noting that the "Ribat al-Kurd" (Kurdish Wall) has been targeted by settlers for many years. Settlers have frequently stormed it during Jewish holidays to perform Talmudic rituals, and have dubbed it "the Little Buraq." For its part, the Israeli Broadcasting Authority reported that restoration and maintenance work began today on the so-called "Little Wall," located within the Muslim Quarter of the Old City of occupied Jerusalem. The authority added that Netanyahu approved the commencement of work following discussions in the National Security Council, given the political sensitivity in the region, particularly regarding relations with Jordan.
