In an urgent letter written by the legislators detained in Ayalon Israeli prison, the officials stated that what is happening is another Israeli attempt to wipe the Arab and Palestinian history in Jerusalem.

They called on the Arab and Islamic worlds to aid the Palestinian in their struggle for protecting Jerusalem and the holy places.

They also said that the current divisions among the Palestinians are encouraging the Israeli occupation to continue its assaults, and resume its attacks against Jerusalem and the Al Aqsa Mosque.

On Thursday, January 31, Israeli Newspaper, Haaretz, reported that the Israeli Authorities decided to start digging a new tunnel under the Muslim neighborhood in the Old City of Jerusalem.
