The Israeli occupation authorities barred the entry of Palestinian women into the holy Aqsa mosque in occupied Jerusalem on Thursday.

Citizens told PIC that Israeli policemen closed Al-Asbat gate, one of the main gates of the Aqsa mosque, and blocked entry of citizens especially women into the site.

They said that tension and anger were prevailing in the place as women were insisting on entering the holy site but the police deny them access by force.

They said that the women had gone to Bab Al-Asbat police station to restore their IDs but they were told to go to Maskobeh police station to get them while on Wednesday the Maskobeh police station told them that their IDs were at Bab Al-Asbat.
