(MENAFN- Jordan News Agency) Ramallah, Oct. 2 (Petra)--Palestinian Minister of Awqaf and Religious Affairs Yousef Idais urged the international community to take an immediate action and prevent the continued Israeli violations against the Islamic and Christian holy sites in Palestine that exceeded 110 in September.
The minister said in a statement that the violations included daily raids, arrests against worshippers, excavations in addition to the continued attempt to juadize the Ibrahim Mosque in Hebron.
"The occupation forces assaulted one of the guards of Al-Aqsa Mosque. They also arrested a member of the reconstruction committee, and removed another from his work place for 15 days.The occupation has been working for years on the establishment of Talmudic gardens in the vicinity of the historic wall of Jerusalem to obliterate the Arab monuments and give a Talmudic character to the holy city," the minister said.
He said the so-called "alleged temple" organizations continued their incitement against the Al-Aqsa Mosque and worshipers, amid calls for more intrusions, especially during their holidays.
"The Antiquities Authority, accompanied by a military officer, stormed the Marwani chapel, and carried out a suspicious and provocative exploratory tour in the area," the minister added.
