A security camera video shared on social media shows two apparently Jewish men wearing kippot breaking into the cemetery, and smashing the gravestones. The footage dates to last Sunday, 1 January. The cemetery was opened in 1848 by then-Bishop of Jerusalem Samuel Gobat, and is now owned by the Church Missionary Trust Association Ltd, an Anglican organization.
The Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, known to the Jewish people as the Temple Mount, is sacred to both Muslims and Jews. For Muslims, it is considered the third holiest site located inside the Old City of Jerusalem.The desecration of the Christian gravestones has been strongly condemned by Jerusalem’s Anglican Archbishop Hosam Naoum who has termed it as a “clear hate crime” against Christians.
