Grandi Proteste contro la demolizione del cimitero islamico di Yafa da parte di Israele
Lunedì della scorsa settimana i bulldozer israeliani hanno iniziato la demolizione del cimitero in vista dell’edificazione di un nuovo nucleo abitativo israeliano. Il giorno dopo centinaia di palestinesi residenti nella città di Yafa hanno organizzato una protesta contro la demolizione israeliana di un cimitero storico islamico; ci sono stati scontri dopo che la polizia israeliana ha sparato gas lacrimogeni e usato bombe acustiche contro i manifestanti.
Il cimitero di Al-Isaaf, che risale all’epoca ottomana, comprende centinaia di sepolture di musulmani che vi furono sepolti prima dell’occupazione israeliana della città nel 1948.
