Israeli police ban 4 Palestinians from entering Aqsa Mosque

Saturday 11-January-2020

The Israeli occupation police on Friday decided to ban four Palestinian youths from entering al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem for 5-6 months.

Local sources said that the four Palestinians received the new order after they had served a week-long ban.

Mohammed Zaghir Ahmad Rokon and Ahmad al-Shawish were ordered to stay away from al-Aqsa Mosque for five months and Emad Abu Sneineh for six months.

Three of the Palestinian citizens affected by the entry ban are ex-prisoners who had served different periods in Israeli jails.

Amjad Abu Asab head of the Committee of the Families of Jerusalemite Detainees described the ban as “unjust” adding that the Israeli occupation authorities with these policies are aiming to empty al-Aqsa Mosque of Palestinian worshipers.
