Wednesday 25-May-2022

The Israeli occupation police banished on Wednesday a number of Jerusalemite citizens from the Aqsa Mosque for different periods including Zeinat Abu Sobeih the Mosque’s female guard chief.

Abu Sobeih said that the Israeli intelligence service summonsed her for interrogation at the Qishla police station in the Old City of Jerusalem and handed her a written order banning her entry to the Aqsa Mosque until next Sunday evening.

She told Quds Press that the interrogators accused her of inciting riots and disorder at the Aqsa Mosque adding that she rejected such accusations leveled against her as “unfounded.”

She also said that the intelligence asked her to come again next Sunday to receive another order issued by the Jerusalem district commander banning her entry to the Aqsa Mosque for several months.

Abu Sobeih is the chief of 23 female guards at the Aqsa Mosque and has been holding this position for about eight and a half years.

Meanwhile the Israel police also banished Jerusalemite activist Aida Sidawi from the Aqsa Mosque until September 15.

Another Jerusalemite young citizen called Ameer Abu Ramoz a resident of Silwan district was released by the Israeli police on condition of staying away from the Old City and the Aqsa Mosque for 46 days and paying 1500 shekels in fines.

The police also banned Jerusalemite activist Abu Bakr Shem from entering the Aqsa Mosque until next Sunday and slapped a similar six-day ban on journalist Baraa Shalludi a resident of Jerusalem.
