The Bab al-Asbat Cemetery, the al-Asbat Cemetery, also known as the al-Yusufiyya Cemetery, [1] is an Islamic cemetery in Jerusalem, whose construction dates back to the era of the Ayyubid state.
It is north of (across a road from) Bab al-Rahma Cemetery. It is on a hill extending from the northern corner of Bab al-Asbat (the city gate, not the compound gate with the same Arabic name farther south), and from there to the east, by about 35–40 meters. Its borders meet with the main street called Jericho Road, which slopes south until it intersects with the road ascending to Bab al-Asbat. Thus, it has taken a wide area in the form of a trapezoid, widening in the south to reach a width of about 105 meters, and narrowing to the north. The Bab al-Asbat cemetery is not adjacent to the wall, unlike the Bab al-Rahma cemetery, where it is separated from the wall by a distance of 10–15 meters, and this distance is used as a path towards the Gate of the Lions. Some people confuse the Bab al-Asbat cemetery with Bab al-Rahma cemetery, as some think it is an extension of it.[ citation needed ]

[2] The Israeli authorities have created a landfill in the area of the market. [3]

The Temple Mount, also known as the Haram al-Sharif, the al-Aqsa Mosque compound or simply as the al-AqsaMosque, and sometimes as Jerusalem's sacredesplanade, is a hill in the Old City of Jerusalem that has been venerated as a holy site in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam for thousands of years. Since the Crusades launched by the Latin Church, the Muslim community of Jerusalem has managed the site through the Jerusalem Islamic Waqf. The site, along with the whole of East Jerusalem, was controlled by Jordan from 1948 until 1967, and has been occupied by Israel since the Six-Day War of 1967. Shortly after capturing the site, Israel handed its administration back to the Waqf under the Jordanian Hashemite custodianship, while maintaining Israeli security control. The Israeli government enforces a ban on prayer by non-Muslims as part of an arrangement usually referred to as the "status quo." The site remains a major focal point of the Arab–Israeli conflict.
