Israel has imposed fresh restrictions on Palestinian entry to the
al-Aqsa Mosque compound in occupied East Jerusalem following a spate of
attacks against Israelis.
In addition to extending a ban for men under the age of 45 who want to pray at the mosque on Friday,
Israeli police have installed metal detectors at several entrances to Jerusalem's Old City.
Thousands of police officers were also deployed across the city.
"Police have made security assessments for Friday prayers and have added many metal detectors and extra checkpoints throughout the Old City, and will continue to closely monitor Arab neighbourhoods," police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld told
