Israeli occupation blocks women from al-Aqsa Mosque

Israeli occupation forces imposed since the early hours of dawn today a ban on women's accessing the holy mosque amidst strict controls on men's entering the holy mosque.
Meanwhile, gangs of Jewish settlers were allowed to storm into the mosque from Bab Al-Magharba escorted by special police units, according to the Palestinian News Agency "WAFA".
WAFA added that the occupation forces resumed procedures adopted during Eid Al-Fitr holiday, allocating the morning hours, except on Fridays and Saturdays, as part of its enforcement of time-sharing policy imposition on the holy mosque akin to the Ibrahamite mosque in Hebron city.
WAFA said that a large number of Islamic Endowments workers gathered in the courtyards of the mosque in order to monitor the actions of settlers and to prevent them from performing Talmudic rituals in the holy mosque.
Also, women who have blocked staged a protest sit-in in front of the gates of the holy mosque amidst shouts of "Allah is Great and There's but One God, Allah", demanding the opening of the mosque for them.
Occupation police erected barricades at the main outer gate in order to prevent the women from accessing the holy mosque. At the same time, Jewish gangs implemented provocative tours in the holy mosque accompanied with rabbis followed by storming by successive gangs escorted by guard.
