Shoppers at a market in "Israel's" coastal city of Ashkelon are using the nearby Muslim cemetery as a car park. The Ashkelon Municipality knows and is in no hurry to stop this.

"Israeli" shoppers at a temporary market in "Israel's" coastal city of Ashkelon are using the nearby Muslim cemetery as a parking lot. According to the "Israeli" online media source nrg.co.il, the Ashkelon Municipality is aware of this phenomenon and even planted hundreds of trees around the cemetery area several weeks ago in the hope this would dissuade drivers from parking there, but to no avail.
 MK Tibi: This is Part of Overall "Israeli" Disrespect

The Muslim cemetery was built in early 20th century and served residents of the Palestinian village of Majdal, residents of whom were deported by "Israel" mainly to the Gaza Strip in 1950, almost two years following creation of the Zionist state and the occupation of Palestine. Since then the cemetery has been neglected, with no government office taking responsibility for its proper upkeep.

Member of Knesset Ahmad Tibi noted that "this is intentional disregard for the feelings of Muslims...this disrespect is part of the disrespect for all Muslim cemeteries in "Israel", imaging if they would act this way in Jewish cemeteries in France or Poland?
