Awake Goy Days of Palestine, Jerusalem –Israeli authorities have been imposing severe restrictions on Palestinian entry to Al-Aqsa Mosque to initiate schedule for Jewish prayers.
The Israeli measures, which echoes concerns expressed by Palestinian worshipers, came as restrictions for Palestinian worshipers to Al-Aqsa Mosque continued for the second consecutive week.
Israeli officers inspected all Palestinian men entering the Mosque and denied entry to a number of men below the age of 40, worshipers said. They added that many others were asked to leave their identity cards at Israeli checkpoints outside entry gates.
Meanwhile, around 30 right-wing Jews were allowed into the compound through Al-Magharbeh Gate under heavily Israeli police escort.
Worshipers said that recently the gate has been designated for use almost entirely by extremist Jewish groups heading to pray in the compound.
Ihad Sabri, the headmistress of Al-Aqsa’s religious school, said that Israeli police officers were continuing to impede the entry of schoolgirls and faculty members to the holy site.
“Israeli police temperamentally decide when and how to allow schoolgirls and teachers to their school inside Al-Aqsa Mosque,” she said.
Commenting on the restrictions, Israeli Police Spokesperson Micky Rosenfeld said: “There are no restrictions as far as I know.”
However, he confirmed that “there are a number of specific people that have not been permitted entry after being involved in a number of incidents over the last two weeks.”
Al-Aqsa Mosque is the third holiest place on earth for about 2bn Muslims around the world.
