Israel Bans Four Palestinians from Entering Al-Aqsa

Jerusalem, MINA — Israeli intelligence on Sunday issued an order banning three Islamic Waqf employees and a Fatah official from entering the holy Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in occupied Jerusalem for one week, WAFA reported.

The intelligence banned Shadi al-Matour, a Fatah official in Jerusalem, and the three Waqf employees from entering the mosque for one week until the beginning of the next month.

Only yesterday, Israeli occupation authorities banned 20 people from Jerusalem, including staff at Al-Aqsa Mosque, from reaching their place of work at the Mosque or even the entire Old City.

The ban orders came as Jewish fanatics plan to hold provocative tours of Al-Aqsa Mosque during the upcoming Jewish holiday, which normally lead to confrontations with the Muslim worshippers at the holy compound.

Muslims fear the fanatics intend to change the status quo at the Mosque and turn it into a Jewish worship area. (T/RS5/RS1)
