Israeli occupation forces on Monday imposed new restrictions preventing men under 40 years old from entering Al Aqsa holy mosque.

Al Aqsa Compound Director Omar Kiswani said Four gates for the compound were closed at 05:00 pm local time, while only three others are still opened.

Meanwhile, sources said that the Israeli police were heavily deployed in the occupied Quds, especially the old town and surroundings of Al Aqsa compound ahead of the Jewish holidays.
