June 1928 CE
The Seventh Palestinian National Congress, convening in Jerusalem on June 20-27, 1928, establishes a new forty-eight-member Executive Committee.
Muslims and Jews in Jerusalem begin to clash over their respective communal religious rights at the Wailing Wall.
The sole remnant of the second Jewish Temple, the Wailing Wall is one of the holiest sites for the Jewish people.
This site (al-Buraq in the Muslim tradition) is also holy to Muslims, since the Wailing Wall is adjacent to the Temple Mount (the Noble Sanctuary in the Muslim tradition).
On the mount are the site of the alAqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock, believed to mark the spot from which the Prophet Muhammad ascended to Heaven on a winged steed.
