“You will only exhume my son over my dead body,” she told the Israeli police who were unable to stop her from reaching her son’s grave.

Nababta while talking to Anadolu Agency said that the Israeli authorities are after Palestinians in the city “whether they are alive or dead.”

“Here is our cemetery, where else do we bury them?” asked Nababta.

She added: “Every day we come here fearing that the grave will be bulldozed.”

“As a mother, what do you think my feelings will be when I watch them try to raze my son’s grave? Pain, pain, and heartbreak.”

On Monday, the Israeli municipality crews in Jerusalem and the Israeli Nature Authority, to establish a Jewish national park, renewed razing a part of the Al-Yusufiye cemetery, located near the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

Dozens of Palestinians whose family members have been buried in the area for centuries arrived in the cemetery, fearing that the graves of their relatives will be razed.
