The Israeli occupation authorities continue to close the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied Jerusalem and prevent worshippers from accessing it for the 19th consecutive day, citing security concerns related to the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran.
The occupation authorities have escalated their repressive measures against worshippers and those stationed at the site, as the occupation police tightened their restrictions and prevented access even to the courtyard of the Rashidiyya School, coinciding with the continued prayers of those stationed at the gates for the ninth night in protest of the closure.
