On Sunday, settlers from the “Elad” settlement association stormed the town of Silwan, south of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, accompanied by the so-called Israeli Nature Authority.

According to Jerusalemite sources, the settlers replaced the iron columns at the entrance to Ein Silwan with two electronic gates to be used as a passage for tourists and settlers from Ein Silwan to the tunnels.

The occupation forces prevented citizens and a delegation from the Islamic Endowments from reaching the area to observe the Judaization work there.

Al-Maqdisi researcher Fakhri Abu Dhiyab explained that the settlement associations placed iron doors and locks on them and confiscated them even though they were a registered Islamic endowment and with signs indicating that.

He added that in the historic Ain Silwan, the settlement associations took over its surroundings, dug tunnels underneath it, and changed its features.

Abu Dhiyab pointed out that this historical spring, which was dug by the Canaanite Arabs, and which Caliph Uthman ibn Affan, may God be pleased with him, restored, restored, and was cared for by Salah al-Din al-Ayyubi, and all the rulers and princes of Jerusalem, was destroyed by the Jewish occupation, falsifying its history, and exploiting it to become part of his false narratives about the region.

Abu Dhiab pointed out that the settlers are tampering with the history of the Palestinian people, erasing memories and the past, and distorting facts and cultural heritage.

These works come several weeks after the seizure of more than 7 surrounding dunams in Ain Silwan, “the land of Al-Hamra and the land of a parking lot for vehicles,” as excavation work continues in the area, placing gates and uprooting fruit trees, in addition to bulldozing and building stone chains on the site.
