The UNESCO report said that Israel should immediately stop its diggings near the holy place OCCUPIED JERUSALEM
The UN cultural agency wants Israel to halt its controversial excavations near Al-Aqsa Mosque, Islam's third holiest shrine, officials said on Wednesday, March 14.
"The government of Israel should be asked to stop immediately the archaeological excavations", officials with access to the findings of a UNESCO mission told Reuters.
The Paris-based UN agency believes that the undertaken excavations are "sufficient for the purpose of assessing the structural conditions of the pathway."
Israeli bulldozers started on February 6 demolishing the wooden bridge leading to Al-Maghariba Gate, one of Al-Aqsa Mosque's 14 gates.
