Israel blocked access to the Al Aqsa Mosque compound on Thursday, after clashes erupted in the city following the killing of a Palestinian suspect wanted in the shooting of a hard-line Jewish activist. It was the first time Israel has closed the site since 2000.
In a statement, police said that Muslim men over the age of 50 and women of all ages could attend Friday’s weekly prayers.
Palestinians had condemned the closure as a “declaration of war.”
