This page is subject to the extended confirmed restriction related to the Arab-Israeli conflict.Bab al-Rahma cemetery is located along the eastern wall of Al Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem.

[1] It extends from Bab Al-Asbat (Lions' Gate) to the end of the Al-Aqsa Mosque wall near the Umayyad palaces on the southern side.

[4] Since at least 2011,[5] Palestinian sources assert that the Israeli government intends to convert part of the cemetery into a biblical garden.

[6][7][8] According to Israel's courts and Nature and Parks Authority, work near the cemetery is minor and no displacement of graves is allowed.

[9] Despite the restriction, burial activities continue with adding new graves on a regular basis, providing ongoing water contamination of the Gihon spring in the City of David.
