Israel is reportedly conducting secret underground excavations beneath Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied East Jerusalem, destroying Islamic archaeological sites. Palestinian authorities claim these actions aim to erase Al-Aqsa’s historic identity and further Judaize the city. A leaked video shows Israeli forces carrying out illegal digs, targeting Umayyad-era relics. The Jerusalem Governor’s Office warned that the excavations risk the mosque’s foundations and called on the UN and UNESCO to intervene. Palestinians view this as part of a broader plan to reshape East Jerusalem.
