The occupation places iron barriers around Al-Aqsa Mosque. The new barriers in the Bab al-Asbat area bring to mind the barriers and cameras that the occupation installed before the 2017 uprising.

Since the start of its aggression against the Gaza Strip on October 7, 2023, the occupation has imposed restrictions on worshipers entering Al-a-qsa. The number of worshipers in some Friday prayers did not exceed the barrier of 3,000, compared to about 50 before these procedures.
