Al Aqsa is a historic religious site, which many Israelis and Christians Zionists believe is the location of the Temple Mount.
It was built from 691 from 692 by Caliph Abd al-Malik. It is built on the spot where the Jewish Temple is believed to have been, and where Muslims believe Muhammad went up to heaven.[1] The rock on which the building stands is believed by Jews, Christians, and Muslims to be one of the holiest places on Earth.
