Al-Quds (Jerusalem), 14 Rajab 1436/3 May 2015 (MINA) – Israeli Police Forces have detained last month 21 Palestinian worshippers in al-Aqsa Mosque including 11 women and two minors, a Jerusalem monthly report revealed.

All the detainees were later released and prevented from having access to the Mosque for different periods of time up to six months, according to the sources, The Palestinian Information Center (PIC) quoted by Mi’raj Islamic News Agency (MINA) as reporting.

The report pointed out that 34 Jerusalemites have been denied from entering the holy shrine in order to prevent any expected protests against settlers’ presence in Al-Aqsa plazas. Ten women, two minors, and 15 youths were among them.

Guards of Al-Aqsa and employees of the Islamic Endowment Department were also subjected to Israeli punitive measures and restrictions.

The report stated that 1326 Israeli settlers and 72 military officers stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque during April in total provocation to the Palestinian worshippers stationed at the mosque’s gates.(T/P008/R03)
