6 Jerusalemites banned from accessing Al-Aqsa

An Israeli magistrates’ court in Jerusalem released six young Palestinian residents of occupied East Jerusalem, including a teenager, from detention on Wednesday, on the condition that they not go to Al-Aqsa Mosque for two months, prisoners’ rights group Addameer said.

Addameer lawyer Muhammad Mahmoud told Ma’an that the young men, identified as Ahmad Rajabi, Qusay Khalil, Yousif Alami, Ibrahim Hreibat, Ammar Abu Jibn and teenager Ismail Muheisin, were detained last week after performing Friday prayers at Al-Aqsa Mosque. He added that they were forbidden from accessing the mosque for 60 days.
