Local sources reported that the Israeli occupation forces arrested Sheikh Najeh Bkeirat, the Head of Jerusalem’s Department of Religious Teachings, from his home in Sur Baher in occupied Al-Quds after a few hours of his release and his son Malek who spent 19 years in the occupation’s prison. This is the second time for him to be arrested in 24 hours.

The occupation intentionally destroys the happiness of Bkeirat family which has been waiting for its son for years. The forces postpone the release date at times and arrest family members at others.

The occupation targets the people of Al-Quds through arresting, banishing or fining them all to remove them from Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa. The soldiers also target the workers at Al-Masjid through arresting and banishing them.
