Israeli Forces Limit Entrances to Al-Aqsa Mosque for Friday Prayers

Israeli forces continue to intervene during Friday prayers at Masjid al-Aqsa in Jerusalem. Palestinians attempting to enter the mosque face strict controls and age restrictions imposed by Israeli soldiers. Some congregation members, denied entry, resorted to praying in the streets around Masjid al-Aqsa. Unfortunately, Israeli forces disrupted their prayers by deploying gas bombs.
