Jerusalem, MINA – Israeli police arrested Imam Aqsa Mosque Sheikh Ekrima Sabri from his house in occupied East Jerusalem on Wednesday morning.
Israeli police and intelligence teams surrounded the house and asked Sheikh Sabri to come out of the house, a relative told Anadolu Agency, who asked not to be named for security reasons.
“Israel did not provide any reason for his arrest,” he said.
Shaikh Sabri’s house is in the Al-Sawana area overlooking the Old City of Jerusalem.
