The Israeli occupation police on Monday banned the entry of two Palestinians working as guards at the Aqsa Mosque from entering the holy site for two weeks.
According to Wadi Hilweh Information Center the Israeli police released Aqsa guard Ahmed al-Awar after detaining him for one day and ordered him to stay away from the Mosque for 15 days.
Awar was physically assaulted during his detention by police officers on Sunday at the Aqsa Mosque.
The police also imposed a similar entry ban on Aqsa guard Mohamed al-Salehi after releasing him.
On Monday morning the Israeli police allowed over 1450 Jewish settlers to desecrate the Aqsa Mosque perform rituals and behave provocatively as they were touring its courtyards which caused a lot of tension and prompted the Mosque guards and officials to intervene.
