Mass Graves Discovered In Jaffa Containing Palestinian Bodies Predating 1948 Arab-Israeli War (PHOTOS)
The bodies of about 200 Palestinians have been found in mass graves in Jaffa, Israel. AFP reports that an official at a Muslim cemetery in the coastal town announced the discovery of six secret tombs on Friday after workers stumbled upon the remains while conducting renovations.
"We discovered mass graves forgotten by time inside the al-Kazkhana cemetery," Abdul Majid Eghbariyeh, head of religious affairs at the al-Aqsa Association for Religious Endowment and Heritage, told Lebanese daily as-Safir, according to a translation by al-Monitor. "The presence of these graves might have been known by some of Jaffa’s elderly residents, but their true stories remain a mystery. Today, fate led us to discover them anew so that their real stories may be told."
