Israeli occupation authorities today, Friday, released the Mufti of Jerusalem and the Palestinian Territories, Sheikh Muhammad Hussein, after detaining him for several hours following a sudden arrest operation carried out by occupation forces from inside the courtyards of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, imposing restrictive conditions on his movement.
Sources reported that the release decision came with the condition of banning the Mufti from Al-Aqsa Mosque for a full week in a first stage, along with handing him an official summons to review the occupation's investigation centers later, where it is expected that the extension of the ban period will be considered to reach six months.
The background of this targeting dates back to the religious and national stances expressed by Sheikh Muhammad Hussein within the Holy Sanctuary, as the occupation authorities claimed that he prayed for the Palestinian martyrs and supplicated for the freedom of prisoners in occupation prisons, which Israeli security circles considered incitement that warrants prosecution and expulsion.
The occupation authorities handed the Mufti of the Holy Lands an official decision for immediate expulsion from Al-Aqsa Mosque for a week as an initial measure.
