Siege of Al-Aqsa
The occupation authorities continued their tight siege on Al-Aqsa Mosque, deploying forces at all its gates and roads leading to it, and imposing severe restrictions on entry to it. Today’s prevention measures included young men, women, the elderly, and young people.
This morning, the forces prevented dozens of worshipers from entering Al-Aqsa to perform the dawn prayer, and imposed severe restrictions during that, especially at Lions Gate. Worshipers noted that during dawn prayers, the forces prevented even elderly people that are not residents of the Old City from entering Al-Aqsa through Lions Gate.
The restrictions also continued around the clock, and the elderly, who prayed all prayer from noon until night, were allowed to enter with restrictions and inspection procedures, while young men were prevented from entering.
The forces were also deployed at the gates of the Old City, in its markets and alleys, and in the streets surrounding the Old City.
