Bulldozers of the Israeli controlled municipality of Jerusalem started leveling Palestinian land near the Aqsa Mosque in occupied Jerusalem on Tuesday.
Eyewitnesses in Suwana suburb, to the east of the Aqsa Mosque, told the PIC reporter that Israeli army troops escorted the municipality bulldozers in their work.
They said that the soldiers encircled the suburb as the bulldozers started to level a playground in preparation for building an Israeli national security college.
The witnesses noted that municipal surveyors had been surveying the land for the past few days.
Other municipality teams stormed a land lot owned by Muntaser Sarhan in Silwan town to the south of the Aqsa Mosque, and demolished tin barracks in it where the municipality had declared it would build parking lots.
