The occupation forces arrested, a short while ago, Sheikh Ikrima Sabri – head of the Supreme Islamic Council and imam and preacher of Al-Aqsa Mosque – 85 years old, after storming his home in the Al-Sawana neighborhood in Jerusalem.
Sheikh Khaled Zabarqa’s lawyer told Ma’an that the forces and intelligence services stormed the sheikh’s house and transferred him for investigation.
The police said in a statement that they were “examining the Friday sermon that the Sheikh delivered at Al-Aqsa” for the possibility that it contained incitement material. Less than an hour later, the Public Prosecution agreed to open an investigation with Sheikh Sabri.
The Minister of Interior demanded that his residency be revoked, while settlers incited against the Sheikh through their various platforms during the past two hours
