The Israeli occupation police in occupied Jerusalem issued orders barring the entry of two Palestinian women to the Aqsa Mosque for 15 days.

Palestinian media sources said that the police prohibited a Jerusalemite young woman and another one from the 1948 occupied lands from entering the Mosque for about two weeks on charges of chanting religious slogans and obstructing the work of policemen.

The women were detained on Wednesday morning during their presence inside the Mosque and taken for interrogation in a police station in the Old City of Jerusalem.

Over 60 Jewish settlers escorted by policemen desecrated the Aqsa Mosque's courtyards that morning, while dozens of Palestinian children were prevented by the police from entering the Islamic holy place at the time.
