The Israeli police have closed the Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied East Jerusalem and stopped Muslim worshippers for the first time in months. According to details, the Islamic Waqf department which is in charge of the holy site said that Muslims are not allowed to enter the Mosque. However, Israeli police allowed Jewish worshippers to enter the compound in the morning and hold rituals in violation of the status quo at the mosque which states only Muslims can worship at the holy site.
