Israeli forces abduct head of Muslim cemetery organisation in Jerusalem

Israeli forces on Wednesday abducted the director of the Islamic Cemeteries Committee in Jerusalem, Ahmad al-Dajani, and took him to an unknown destination, Wafa news agency reported. 

Dajani was detained by Israeli forces while walking on Salah al-Din Street in Jerusalem. 

Dajanis's abduction is part of a wider "crackdown on Muslim authorities and institutions that play an important role in upholding Islamic history and culture in the city," the report said.
