Court approves mosque demolition in Silwan

Silwanic  14/09/2020

An Israeli court rejected an appeal from the residents, which was filed after a demolition order was issued by the City Council to demolish the Al-Qa’qa’ mosque in the town. The mosque, the only one in that area, was built through donations from various individuals and institutions and is being used for worship by about 7000 residents – all part of ongoing Israeli violations against the Palestinians in Silwan, and the rest of occupied East Jerusalem.
