Blaze erupts at Jerusalem’s historic al-Aqsa Mosque

TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - The blaze didn’t cause significant damage, but it did endanger a part of the worship site that’s over 2,000 years old.

Part of the Haram ash-Sharif, the huge Jerusalem mosque built where a pivotal event in the prophet Muhammad's life is believed to have occurred, also caught fire, damaging a part of the structure dating to Judean King Herod the Great's reign.

Paris’s Notre-Dame Cathedral also has burnt in flames, causing the wood-and-lead spire to collapse onto the roof.
