24 February 2025 12:44 GMT
Israel is set to block Palestinians released under a Gaza ceasefire and prisoner exchange deal from entering Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied East Jerusalem during Ramadan, Anadolu reported.
According to Anadolu, men over 55 and women over 50 will be granted permits, while those recently freed from Israeli prisons will be banned from the site.
Israeli police plan to deploy 3,000 officers daily at checkpoints leading to East Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa throughout the fasting month.
Authorities have also recommended restricting entry for West Bank Palestinians to just 10,000 permits.
