Before her previous expulsion order expired, the occupation authorities renewed the ban on Muntaha Imara from entering Al-Aqsa Mosque for another six months
On Wednesday, Israeli occupation authorities issued an order barring Muntaha Imara—a woman dedicated to the presence and protection of the Al-Aqsa Mosque—from entering the Al-Aqsa Mosque for six months. She received the order while reporting to the "Al-Qishla" police station in Jerusalem’s Old City.
Earlier this month, occupation forces raided Imara’s home in Umm al-Fahm, searching the premises and damaging its contents. They then took her to Jerusalem and released her on the condition that she stay away from the Al-Aqsa Mosque for a week—even though a six-month ban imposed on her last May was still in effect and was not due to expire this coming November.
This latest decision is part of a series of bans and acts of persecution Imara has faced for about four years. The recurring bans from Al-Aqsa Mosque have now been extended, with a new six-month period of expulsion.
With this latest order, Imara has been barred from the Al-Aqsa Mosque for the fourth consecutive time, bringing the total period of denied access to approximately 18 months. This is part of a four-year campaign of persecution, during which her bans from the mosque have been repeatedly renewed.
