OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)-- The Israeli occupation authority have renewed the ban on entry of the Aqsa mosque against 30-year-old Majed Ragheb al-Jo’ba, one of the Aqsa guards for a further six months.

Local sources said that IOF on Monday troops raided Jo’ba’s house in the old city and left him a summons ordering him to attend the interrogator’s office at the Maskobeyya interrogation and detention centre, where he was handed a new military order barring him from entry into the mosque or getting within 20 meters from its gates.

The occupation authority has been barring Jo’ba from entering the mosque since 2005. The last ban ran out on Saturday which allowed him to attend the mosque on Saturday and Sunday before the ban was renewed on Monday morning.

The pretext for this ban is that Jo’ba constitutes a “threat to state and public security” and that there is secret information that his presence in or a round the mosque constitutes a danger.

The Israeli occupation is using various pretexts to empty the Aqsa Mosque and Jerusalem from its indigenous Palestinian population and replacing them with extremist Jewish settlers.
