JERUSALEM, September 7, 2017 (WAFA) – The detention of Khadija Khweis, a Palestinian teacher from Jerusalem, was extended on Thursday a day after her arrest, while another teacher, Sahar Natsheh, turned herself in to serve time in prison, according to WAFA correspondent.
Khweis and Natsheh are known outspoken defenders of Al-Aqsa Mosque against Israeli attempts to take it over.
The Israeli General Security Services arrested Khweis and held her for interrogation due to her pro-Aqsa activities.
Natsheh turned herself in to the prison administration in Ramleh to serve three months in jail following a court ruling. She has been kept under house arrest.
Both women were banned by Israeli police from entering Al-Aqsa Mosque due to their activities.
