 Israeli occupation forces on Tuesday arrested Palestinian governor of Jerusalem Adnan Ghaith after raiding and ransacking his home in the neighbourhood of Silwan, the Palestinian Prisoners Club said.

No reason was given for the arrest, but Ghaith has been detained many times by the occupation authority and barred from travel to the West Bank since he was appointed by the Palestinian Authority in 2018.

in August, Israel renewed a travel ban against him and also prevented him from taking part in meetings and activities or providing any assistance to Arabs in occupied East Jerusalem.

Also in Jerusalem today, dozens of Jewish settlers breached the Al Aqsa Mosque compound under the escort of special police and performed prayers, while police stopped Palestinian worshippers from reaching the eastern part of the holy site to secure access to the hardline Jews.
