Israel said to cancel Gazans’ travel permits for Friday Al-Aqsa prayers
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe advocacy group Gisha says Israel is informing Palestinians in Gaza that it is canceling travel permits for Gazans to visit the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem during Ramadan.
“The official reason for the cancellation of the planned exit of worshipers is the shooting attack that took place last night in Tel Aviv. Indiscriminate attacks on innocent civilians are despicable acts that must be strongly condemned. Canceling the permits for worshipers has no security justification,” the group insists.
In a statement, it says the Palestinian Civilian Affairs Committee is told of the cancellation, and is informing permit holders they will not be able to travel to Jerusalem tomorrow for Friday prayers.
