Israeli troops, early on Wednesday, stormed the home of Ikrima Sabri, current head of the Higher Islamic Council and former Mufti, in the internationally-recognized occupied East Jerusalem.
Palestinian sources in the occupied old city of Jerusalem said that the attack on Sabri’s home followed Israeli troops’ crackdown on a Palestinian solidarity protest, held by employees of the Palestinian Ministry of Waqf and Religious Affairs.
No damage was reported inside the home of the high-ranking Palestinian scholar.
The protest, outside of the former Mufti’s home, was in protest of Israeli troops and police harassment of Palestinian workers and guards at the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound of East Jerusalem, one of the holiest Islamic shrines in the world.
The sources added that Israeli troops abducted two protesters and took them to a nearby Israeli custody center, in the Arab-Palestinian occupied city. (...)
