Jerusalem’s Al-Aqsa Compound Remains Closed Amid Ongoing Conflict
Israeli authorities maintained their closure of Jerusalem’s Al-Aqsa compound on al-Quds Day, a significant date in the Islamic calendar. On this day, Muslim worshippers gathered outside the compound to pray.
The restrictions, which have been in place since Ramadan began, have resulted in a largely empty mosque. This development has drawn criticism from Arab and Islamic countries.
Details of the closure were not specified in the article.
