For years, Israeli occupation authorities have been targeting the Bab Al-Rahma Prayer Hall in an attempt to take control of it and convert it into a Jewish synagogue.
The Al-Aqsa Mosque is a place of deep religious significance for Muslims worldwide and is situated in the heart of Jerusalem, which has been illegally occupied by Israel since 1967.
The Bab al-Rahma Prayer Hall, like the rest of the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, is administered by the Islamic Waqf, which is responsible for the management and maintenance of Islamic holy sites in Jerusalem.
