Israel is restricting access to the Al-Aqsa Mosque for Palestinian worshippers, allowing only 10,000 from the occupied West Bank with permits for Friday prayers during Ramadan. This is a significant decrease from previous years, with only children under 12, men over 55, and women over 50 eligible to enter. The new restrictions are seen as an attempt to weaken ties between communities and disrupt Palestinian traditions.
