Quick march: Hamas officers carry mosque model at protest
Officers from the Hamas national security force carry a model of the Al Aqsa Mosque while marching during a parade against Israeli arrangements in the contested Jerusalem shrine, in front of the Palestinian Legislative Council, in Gaza City yesterday.
A senior Muslim official in Jerusalem said worshippers would not return to the contested shrine until Israel removes the new railings and cameras it installed after a deadly attack there. Ikrema Sabri, the head of the Supreme Islamic Committee, said that even after Israel removed metal detectors at the site more steps were required.
