Israel claims the digging is for the search of antiquities.The girls were injured as they fell into a 1.5 to 2-meter deep ditch that opened up when the school's floor collapsed on Sunday, according to a teacher at the school.Medics at the hospital, where the injured girls were taken for treatment, said most of them have sustained moderate to light injures.Eyewitnesses stated that several neighboring homes in the town of Silwan, in the Old City of al-Quds, have sustained cracks due to Israeli excavations in the area near the al-Marwani Mosque inside the al-Aqsa compound.Israeli police claim the neighborhood's houses were already fragile and cracked, but residents of the area said the cracks were new and resulted from Israeli excavations.The Union of Palestinian Intellectuals have put direct blame on the Israelis saying that continuous digging of a tunnel leading to the Western Wall, adjacent to the mosque compound, has put the entire area at risk, calling these excavations 'highly dangerous'.The UN-affiliated school's collapse is just the latest example of the danger of these excavations, the Union said.Reports also say that Israeli bulldozers carry out controversial tasks on a pathway next to the al-Aqsa Mosque, the third holiest site in the Muslim world.
