is asserting that the Israeli state, rather than the Jewish religion, has
a `connection` to these sites, which are in the occupied West Bank.

| Gunman told Ma`an of plans to turn himself in day before shooting | | Ma`an - The gunman responsible for a shooting attack in occupied East Jerusalem this Sunday morning that left two Israelis killed and several injured told Ma`an on Saturday that he was planning on turning himself in to Israeli authorities to serve a prison sentence for assaulting an officer in 2013.
The case against him was unexpectedly reopened in 2015, and last month, the Jerusalem Magistrate`s court ordered that he turn himself in by mid-October after sentencing him to four months in prison, which followed warnings by Israeli intelligence that if he didn`t turn himself in, he would be detained and placed under administrative detention. He had been stopped and detained by Israeli police five times over the past two weeks and not so long ago spent a year in Israel`s Ktziot prison on charges of “incitement” for posting on Facebook.

"It`s like taking a fish out of the water," his son said. They say he was known as "the lion of al-Aqsa". His long-time friend, Amjad, described the mosque to Abu Sbeih as a "red line”. "It was an article of faith to him. He was very protective of al-Aqsa and he would cry when Israel barred him from entering it. There was no way he would give it up.".-rh
