The month of Ramadan in Jerusalem's Al-Aqsa Mosque complex is marked by a large number of worshippers, especially during Friday prayers. The Israeli occupation often tries to restrict attendance, but the restrictions are transferred to checkpoints at the entrances to the holy city. The Israeli government has also increased the number of Palestinians denied entry to Al-Aqsa Mosque, including recently released prisoners. Despite these restrictions, tens of thousands are expected to worship during Ramadan, with special focus on the last 10 days, particularly the 27th day known as Laylat Al-Qadr. The region's instability raises concerns about potential trouble during this time.
