Israeli Police Prevents Afternoon Prayer in Al-Aqsa Mosque

JERUSALEM, August 21, 2011 (WAFA) - Israeli police Sunday prevented Muslim worshippers from entering Al-Aqsa Mosque, inside the Old City of Jerusalem, to perform ‘Al-A’sser' prayer, the Muslims afternoon daily prayer, according to local residents.

They said that Israeli police stationed at two of Al-Aqsa Mosque’s Gates told the women and the elderly to enter from another gate without giving any explanations.

The police allowed the entrance of a limited number of Palestinians after al-A’sser Prayer was over, checking the identity cards of young Palestinians while they were leaving the mosque, which is an Israeli measure to find specific names they have on their list.
