16-year-old Palestinian girl arrested by Israeli police at Aqsa Mosque

Sunday 26-August-2018

Israeli policemen on Sunday arrested a Palestinian girl on her way out of the holy al-Aqsa Mosque in Occupied Jerusalem.

Palestinian instructor Khadija Khweis said Israeli cops arrested her 16-year-old daughter Shifaa Abu Ghalia right as she left the Aqsa Mosque through the Hitta Gate.

Khweis added that her daughter was dragged by Israeli policemen to a detention center in Jerusalem’s Old City pending intensive questioning.

Sometime earlier Israeli police ordered Khadija Khweis to turn herself in for questioning on Sunday afternoon in what the instructor feared was a prelude to a ban from al-Aqsa Mosque.
