Construction el-Amud mosque

The Ras el-Amud mosque, situated on Jerusalem's Mount of Olives, has been illegally expanded by 217 square meters (about 2,335 square feet) over the past year, Ynet reported Thursday.


Construction work at the mosque began in October 2010. Following repeated complaints lodged by the area's residents, in June 2011 the City of Jerusalem ordered that construction at the site be halted. Michael Frankburg, legal counsel for Jerusalem District Police, said that the construction at the mosque was limited to internal renovations, but photos presented to him by residents indicated that three new structures were built at the site.

"When Jews build in central and west Jerusalem, (the City) is very strict with them. The City of Jerusalem said it would start legal proceedings against the mosque.
