Jerusalem: Israeli occupation forces dispersed Palestinians who performed prayers near Bab al-Sahira in the Old City of occupied Jerusalem on Tuesday evening. The dispersal occurred amid a heavy deployment of Israeli forces and intelligence officers who conducted patrols inside the Old City of Jerusalem and its surroundings to prevent gatherings of worshippers.
According to Palestine News and Information Agency - WAFA, these measures are in place as Israeli authorities continue to keep the Al-Aqsa Mosque closed for the eleventh consecutive day. The closure has been justified by citing security conditions amid the ongoing war with Iran.
