The Supreme Islamic Association and al-Aqsa Association for Construction of Holy Shrines have accused Israeli authorities of carrying on excavations under al-Aqsa mosque in occupied Jerusalem and threatening its stability, Aljazeera reports.

Al-Aqsa Intifada has entered its sixth year amidst escalating Israeli attacks on Palestinian territories.

A senior Palestinian official has called on the international community to prevent a Jewish radical group from marching on al-Aqsa Mosque, with Israeli police preventing Palestinian youths from marching on the shrine.

A rally by Gaza withdrawal opponents at the Haram al-Sharif site in Jerusalem has fizzled out in the face of thousands of police in full riot gear, with only a few dozen protesters showing up.

Palestinian officials have warned that a massive march planned by a Jewish group to the al-Aqsa Noble Sanctuary will spark conflict.

Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, linked to Palestinian leader Mahmud Abbas' Fatah group, says it will stop resistance operations if Israel halts military attacks against Palestinians.

Al-Aqsa Intifada enters its fifth year this week, with a steadily mounting death toll, increasing Israeli repression and little prospect of an end to the conflict.
