Breaking| Settlers set fire to Mercy gate cemetery
Occupied Jerusalem (QNN)- Israeli settlers have set fire to the Mercy gate cemetery in occupied Jerusalem, according to initial reports.
The crime comes two days after vehicles of the Israeli army leveled the Yusifiyyah Cemetery, another nearby ancient Islamic cemetery, adjacent to the eastern part of Al Aqsa mosque.
Israeli authorities aim at removing the cemetery and construct a settlers-only park instead.
