The occupation forces also surrounded the fence adjacent to Al-Aqsa Mosque in the Lion's Gate area with barbed wire, with the aim of preventing worshipers from entering Al-Aqsa. Furthermore, the occupation authorities deployed around 23 patrols throughout the West Bank, including occupied Jerusalem. Last Sunday, the occupation forces obstructed the entry of hundreds of worshipers into Al-Aqsa Mosque to perform Ta rawih prayers, detained many civilians at the gates leading to Al-Aqsa Mosque. Israeli forces have imposed a strict siege on Al-Aqsa Mosque for five months, preventing entry to it.
