OCCUPIED JERUSALEM (Palestine Foundation Information Center) The Israeli occupation police silenced the Adhan (call to prayer) at the Aqsa Mosque compound’s Marwani prayer building on Sunday.
Local sources said that police officers cut off wires of the Marwani prayer hall’s loudspeakers, suppressing the Adhan.
Other Palestinian news reports said that the Israeli police confiscated two loudspeakers from the prayer hall.
They added that the call to prayer was only recited inside the Mosque’s other prayer buildings.
Meanwhile, at least 168 settlers entered the Aqsa Mosque through its Maghariba Gate in the morning and defiled its courtyards under police protection on the ninth day of the holy month of Ramadan.
During their tours at the Islamic holy site, the settlers received lectures from rabbis about the alleged temple mount and a number of them provocatively performed Talmudic prayers.
The Israeli occupation police also imposed movement and entry restrictions on Muslim worshipers at the Aqsa Mosque’s entrances and gates and prevented many of them from entering the holy site.
