The Islamic Endowments Department, Waqf, in the occupied city of Jerusalem said that the occupation forces tightened their measures around al-Aqsa Mosque, and prevented a number of Waqf employees from entering the holy Islamic site this morning. Sources said that the occupation forces checked the ID cards of the employees and prevented some of them from entering the courtyards of the mosque to carry out their work there, while checking the ID cards of Jerusalemites coming to pray and not allowing many of them to enter, and withholding the ID cards of those allowed to enter the mosque, and preventing them from moving except in certain areas. Large numbers of settlers stormed the Old City near the Council Gate and performed Talmudic rituals and prayers.
