Israeli police ban Waqf employee from Al-Aqsa
Israeli forces banned an employee of the Islamic Endowment, or Waqf -- in charge of running Al-Aqsa Mosque compound -- from entering the holy site on Wednesday amid continued Israeli harassment and detentions against Palestinians in the occupied al-Quds city
Israeli forces banned an employee of the Islamic Endowment, or Waqf -- in charge of running Al-Aqsa Mosque compound -- from entering the holy site on Wednesday, according to Ma'an.
The move came amid continued Israeli harassment and detentions against Palestinians in the aftermath of a near two-week long civil disobedience campaign in the eatsern part of the occupied al-Quds ('Jerusalem') in protest of Israel’s restrictive policies at the holy site.
According to Palestinian news agency Wafa, officials from the Waqf had said that Israeli police outside Al-Aqsa's gates had banned a Waqf guard from entering the premises.
The officials reportedly added that numerous Waqf employees have been banned from entering the holy compound, with Israeli police threatening them with arrest if found inside the holy site.
Officials noted that other Palestinians have also been harassed when attempting to enter the site, Wafa reported.
