Israeli occupation authorities imposed on Sunday severe restrictions on Palestinian entry to the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound.

Al-Manar correspondent in al-Quds, reported that the occupation forces imposed restrictions on Palestinian prayers in a bid to initiate a daily schedule for Zionists to perform Jewish prayer at the holy site.

Israeli officers inspected all Palestinian men entering the compound and denied entry to a number of men below the age of 40, Maan news agency quoted worshipers as saying.

They added that many others were asked to leave their identity cards at Israeli checkpoints outside entry gates.

Meanwhile, around 30 right-wing Jews were allowed into the compound through the Moroccan gate under heavily Israeli police escort, worshipers told Ma'an.
