Theodosius Atallah Hanna, the Archbishop of Sebastia from the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of occupied Palestine, said that the Israeli occupation committed a new crime in its attack on Palestinian worshippers in Al-Aqsa earlier today and called for the immediate release of all those who were arrested by the occupation forces.
