An early pilot · A community project
QADIYA is an independent, noncommercial community project: an archive of Palestine’s history, built for the cause and open to everyone.
This is an early pilot. Its records were gathered with AI help from cited sources and are still being checked, so don’t rely on them yet, and tell us if something is wrong.
We’re looking for people and organisations to build it with us: historians, archivists, translators, designers, developers, and partners who can support the work.

A licensed photograph, with its credit, is added after review; never a generated likeness.In September 1996 Israel opened a tunnel under the Western Wall of al-Aqsa Mosque in East Jerusalem, and unrest and bloodshed followed in Jerusalem, Nablus, Ramallah, Bethlehem and the Gaza Strip. On 28 September the Security Council, in resolution 1073, called for the reversal of all acts that had aggravated the situation.
The United Nations study records that the Security Council met on 27 and 28 September 1996 on the opening by Israel of a tunnel under the Western Wall of al-Aqsa Mosque in East Jerusalem and the unrest and bloodshed that followed. In resolution 1073, adopted with the United States abstaining, it expressed deep concern at the tragic events in Jerusalem and the areas of Nablus, Ramallah, Bethlehem and the Gaza Strip, which resulted in a high number of deaths and injuries among Palestinian civilians.1
