Israel bans entering Aqsa mosque

Israel issued on Thursday a blacklist, preventing 40 Palestinian women from entering al-Aqsa mosque under the pretext of creating problems.

Israeli forces, meanwhile, set up checkpoints near the gates of Aqsa mosque, allowing only Israeli settlers into the mosque.

Aqsa mosque imam Amr el Keswany accused the Israeli forces of imposing restrictions on the access of Palestinian men into the mosque.
