JERUSALEM (Ma'an) -- Israeli police on Tuesday detained five Palestinian women as they left the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, a lawyer told Ma'an.

Ramzi Kteilat, a member of the group "Lawyers for Jerusalem," said that one of the women was released while the others would be held for another day.

The four women still being held were identified as Jihad Ghazzawi, Fatima Ulayan, Latifa Mkheimer, and Khadija Khweis.

Meanwhile, two women from Jerusalem were released after being held for a day, Kteilat said. They were arrested the day before outside the Al-Aqsa compound.

Upon their release, Wisal Idrees and Sina Sheikha were banned from entering Al-Aqsa for 45 days and ordered to pay a fine of 500 shekels ($125).
