Al-Rajbi told Emirates Al-Youm: In a move aimed at obliterating and distorting the most important cultural Islamic sanctities, the Israeli forces destroyed the archaeological staircase associated with the western door of the Ibrahimi Mosque, on Monday 23rd of last May, which deepens the occupation’s control over the Haram completely. From the gate of this staircase that overlooked the historic Sultan Hassan School, the occupation forces are building an iron bridge, connecting it to the electric elevator over the land of the holy place.

Unlimited distortion
