The Israeli authorities for the second week in a row prevented Palestinians from traveling from the Gaza Strip to Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied East Jerusalem for Friday worship due to the Jewish holiday of Passover.
Sources at the Palestinian military liaison told Ma’an that the ban on travel out of the besieged enclave was implemented for some 200 Palestinians above the age of 60 that are ordinarily permitted to cross through the Erez crossing to pray at the holy site.
Israeli Ministry of Defense spokeswoman Arielle Heffez confirmed to Ma’an that all movement through the two operating crossings between Gaza and Israel would be closed Friday due to Passover, with the exception of "passage for humanitarian emergencies."
