On Sunday night, March 10, 2024, Israeli authorities imposed restrictions on young Muslims entering Al-Aqsa Mosque to offer prayers on the night of the first day of the month of Ramadan. This was reported by palinfo.com.
"Taraweeh prayers (a special night prayer performed throughout the month of Ramadan – Ed.) were held at the Al-Aqsa Mosque amid exceptional measures imposed by the police," the report reads.
According to eyewitnesses in the publication, police detained young people at the gates of the mosque, some of them were beaten. Mostly women in their early 40s were allowed to enter.
It is reported that the number of Palestinians who were denied access to the Al-Aqsa Mosque by the Israeli authorities on the first night of Ramadan far exceeded the number of those who were allowed to attend the Taraweeh prayer.
As the UOJ reported, Israel razed to the ground the Al-Farouq Mosque in Rafah on the border with Egypt.
