JERUSALEM, March 3, 2026 (WAFA) – Israeli occupation forces continued the closure of the Al-Aqsa Mosque for the fourth consecutive day, banning Palestinian worshipers from entering the compound.
The Jerusalem Governorate reported that the occupation forces prevented worshippers from entering the mosque, citing a state of emergency, as troops maintained a heavy presence around the Mosque’s gates and across the Old City, preventing access to its courtyards.
Israeli forces had initially sealed off the Al-Aqsa Mosque on Saturday morning, forcing worshippers to leave and preventing the performance of the Isha and Taraweeh prayers.
The closure of the Al-Aqsa Mosque coincides with the Israeli army's announcement of a closure of the West Bank, hours after Israel and the United States launched large-scale strikes on Iran.
