Committee: Israel 'creates fake cemetery' to steal land in Jerusalem

Hajj Mustafa Abu Zahra said Israeli municipality workers in Jerusalem had installed seven "false graves" on a piece of land near the southern wall of the Al-Aqsa Mosque and installed gravestones with a Star of David and a large sign reading "Jewish Cemetery" in Hebrew.
 
"These graves are only an attempt to confiscate the land," Abu Zahra said.
 
"We are more entitled to use the land as an Islamic cemetery, especially after no room has been left in our cemeteries which we have been using for 1,400 years."
 
As the Israeli workers were installing the graves, others demolished 20 Islamic graves at Martyrs cemetery in the area, Abu Zahra said.
