Head of Palestine Islamic Movement Visits Al-Aqsa Mosque after 15 Years
In a post on his Facebook account, Sheikh Salah’s lawyer Khaled Zabarka said the cleric entered the mosque on Sunday evening, the Daily Sabah reported.
He was stopped by the Zionist forces at a gate for a while before being allowed to enter the mosque, Zabarka added.
Sheikh Salah was welcomed by tens of Palestinian worshippers upon entering Al-Aqsa ahead of Maghrib prayers.
Sheikh Salah was released from a Zionist regime jail in December after 17 months.
He had spent all of his time in detention in solitary confinement and under harsh conditions.
Salah was detained by Zionist forces in August 2017 and indicted for “incitement” following his criticism of the erection of metal detectors at Al-Aqsa Mosque compound.
He was sentenced to 28 months in prison by an Israeli court. He served 11 months, half of which was spent in solitary confinement before he was moved to house arrest.
After two years under house arrest, in August 2020, Salah was again sentenced to a 17-month jail term on “incitement” charges.
He has been detained by the Zionist regime times and again for his political and religious activities in occupied Palestine.
