On the tenth day of “Al-Aqsa Flood” Operation, sirens and explosions sounded in the city of Jerusalem, and the occupation authorities continued their siege imposed on Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Old City, and intensified arrests, summonses, and threats “under the pretext of incitement.”
The occupation authorities imposed their strict restrictions on the entry of worshipers to Al-Aqsa, by randomly preventing the elderly and young people (males and females), in a procedure that has been followed every day since the start of “Al-Aqsa Flood” Operation.
