OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)-- Jerusalemite ex-prisoner Ali Shalade, who was released from Israeli occupation jails on Tuesday after 20 years of captivity, insisted on visiting the Aqsa Mosque before heading to his family home.
The Palestinian prisoner's association recalled that Shalade was detained in 1989 on anti-occupation resistance charge and was serving since then in various Israeli occupation jails.
Shalalde, 62, expressed absolute pleasure for visiting the Aqsa and praying there, adding that he feels that he was born anew.
The Israeli prisons authority refused to release Shalalde six years ago after spending tow thirds of his sentence despite his worsening health condition, which prompted doctors at Ramle prison hospital to recommend his release.
Former prisoner and specialist in prisoners' affairs Abdulnasser Farwana said on Tuesday that the number of old serving Jerusalemite prisoners in Israeli occupation jails thus became 43 out of a total of almost 300 Jerusalemites including four females.

OCCUPIED JERUSAELM, (PIC)-- The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) razed on Tuesday the home of Hasan Ka'abne in the southern area of Juba'a village to the northwest of occupied Jerusalem without prior notice.
Ka'abne said that the IOF soldiers came unexpectedly and ordered all his family members out of the house in order to knock it down.
He affirmed, however, that he did not receive any previous demolition order to his home that was built in 1978.
The soldiers refused to allow his family members to get their personal belongings out of the house but after a heated debate they only allowed the women to get those things out and handcuffed him and his cousin until the demolition was over, Ka'abne elaborated.
He said that his family of ten members, including five children under five years old, is now rendered homeless.
