Some Palestinians restricted from al-Aqsa

Israeli forces are no longer in al-Aqsa Mosque's complex, and some Palestinians are able to return to the courtyard. But not everyone.

MEE correspondent Latifeh Abdellatif reports that only Palestinians above the age of 40 are being allowed by Israeli police into al-Aqsa Mosque's courtyard via the Lions' Gate.

Other gates appear to have different restrictions, however. Abdellatif says at some entrances to the mosque, Palestinians under 40 are being given access - particualrly women.
