In 1967/68 Israel began so called archaeological excavations around the al Aqsa Mosque in al Quds (Jerusalem).  Those archaeological excavations are now dangerously close to the Mosque.  The latest photos show heavy equipment working right next to the wall that surrounds al Aqsa.

For decades Israel has been digging underneath the Mosque, as well as Christian sites.  Israel denies deliberately undermining the foundations of non-Jewish buildings.  However, Israel has denied repeated United Nations requests to voluntarily allow the UN to inspect the archaeological excavations.

In 2004 the Mugrabi entrance to the Al Aqsa Mosque was destroyed.  Israeli officials blame it on a storm.  In 2007 at least 50 people were detained by Israeli troops, after they took pictures of the so called archaeological excavations.

In April 2011, The Al Aqsa Foundation reported that excavations were accelerating.  Local residents were able to sneak into the tunnels and discovered a vast network that seems to undermine the entire Dome of the Rock/Temple Mount area.  Residents also reported that their homes are showing damaged due to the excavations.

September 7, 2011, Grand Mufti of al Quds, Mohammad Hussein, called for immediate action to stop the Israeli ‘excavations’, after a new 600 meter tunnel was found.  The tunnel is being dug directly into the stone foundation of the al Aqsa Mosque!

Lebanon’s Hezbollah is demanding the Arab League, the Organization of Islamic Conference and all regional and international institutions to stop the Zionist excavations: “…before what we are warning of takes place, and satanic Zionist procedures succeed in the destruction of this great edifice.”
