Israeli Authorities Arrest Al-Aqsa Mosque Imam
According to a Palestinian news outlet, which cited local sources, “Israeli forces detained Sheikh al-Abbasi inside the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque" without providing any explanation for the arrest.
The report noted that the detention “comes amid escalating Israeli measures against the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, including restrictions on imams, preachers and worshippers stationed there, limitations on the entry of worshippers, and intensifying incursions carried out by settlers under heavy protection from Israeli police.”
On Tuesday, Hamas condemned the apprehension of al-Abbasi through a statement, noting that he had been “served with an order banning him from the mosque.”
The movement characterized the action as “blatant interference in the affairs of Al-Aqsa and an unacceptable assault on its imams.”
Hamas further emphasized that “The escalating violations by the fascist occupation government against the sanctity of Al-Aqsa Mosque, the imposition of restrictions on worshippers’ access, the prevention of logistical preparations for the month of Ramadan, and the intensification of raids by settler groups are dangerous interventions that fall within its persistent attempts to control and Judaize the mosque, restrict freedom of worship there, and impose temporal and spatial division.”
