Israeli occupation forces on Monday evening arrested veteran Palestinian hunger striker Khodor Adnan while heading into "Jerusalem's Old City" to take part in Laylat al-Qader prayers a day after he was freed from an Israeli prison.

Israeli soldiers detained Adnan, 37, at Herod's Gate at the entrance to Jerusalem's so-called Old City.

He was reportedly taken to the David police station inside the Old City.

The Zionist authorities in the early hours of Sunday released Adnan who staged a 56-day hunger strike while being detained for a year without charge.
