Israeli Forces Raid Homes of Sheikh Sabri, Other Palestinian Figures
They also raided the homes of the Palestinian Authority’s Jerusalem al-Quds governor, Adnan Ghaith, in Silwan neighborhood of the city, and those of activists and presented them with orders banning them from entering the occupied West Bank.
The al-Quds governor, who has been under an open-ended house arrest since August 4 of last year, received an extension on his ban for travel or leaving al-Quds, as well as a ban on meeting with Palestinian officials and figures.
Ghaith was detained 35 times since he became a governor in August 2018 and has been banned several times from leaving al-Quds or participating in political meetings.
Sabri, 84, a preacher at Al-Aqsa Mosque and a top Muslim cleric who was also banned from travel abroad and from meeting with Palestinian officials, as well as banned from entering Al-Aqsa Mosque, was handed a summons to appear before the security officials for interrogation due to his activity in defending the Islamic character and status quo at Al-Aqsa Mosque.
At the same time, several activists were handed orders renewing a ban on entering the West Bank.
Former prisoner Majed Jubeh, from al-Quds’ Old City, was handed an order banning him from entering the West Bank. He was also ordered in November not to meet with Palestinian figures from East al-Quds.
Ahmad Jamjoum, from Isawiyya neighborhood of al-Quds, and Sami Fteiha, from Silwan, were detained and interrogated for one month before they were released to house arrest and ordered not to enter Al-Aqsa Mosque and the West Bank.
Meanwhile, journalist Lama Ghousheh, from East al-Quds, has been under house arrest for more than 100 days and starts now her second year in house arrest for her writings and interviews with freed Palestinian freedom fighters.
