Al-Aqsa Mosque has gradually been inaccessible for Palestinian Muslim, under the Israeli police occupation. It has been a month of four consecutive Fridays where the Muslim are prohibited to perform Friday prayer in the mosque.

The Israeli police has built checkpoint posts near the entrance gates of Jerusalem, so Palestinian people who wanted to go to Al-Aqsa mosque should go through some checking and inspection. Only few of them can enter the mosque to come and pray.

This Friday, just like the former four consecutive Fridays, Palestinian Muslim performed the Friday prayer outside the mosque. They had been waiting there from the dawn prayer that Friday until it was the time for Friday prayer.

The Imam of Al-Aqsa Mosque, Sheikh Yusuf Abu Sneina said in the Friday sermon, "It is not permissible to continue preventing worshippers from reaching the mosque to perform prayer, under any circumstances," he averred.
