The occupying gangs on Sunday afternoon arrested a Palestinian guard of al-Aqsa Mosque in Occupied Jerusalem.

The Islamic Awqaf said in a statement that the zionist terrorists arrested Essa Barakat while he was entering al-Aqsa Mosque.

Earlier on the day, the gangs arrested Hamza al-Nepali, another Aqsa guard, and transferred him to a zionist detention center for interrogation.

The occupying gangs over the past week have arrested dozens of Aqsa guards and Awqaf officials or banished them from al-Aqsa Mosque after the opening of Bab al-Rahma prayer area.

Despite all the hindrances of the gangs, dozens of Palestinians continue to guard the al-Rahma gate. (ILKHA)
