Jerusalem officials condemned the move as a serious escalation aiming to alter the legal and historical status quo. Only a limited number of worshippers were allowed inside under the pretext of &#8220;maximum capacity,&#8221; while Israeli settlers were allowed access through the Moroccan Gate.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_19099\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19099\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-19099 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/03.jpg\" alt=\"Israeli occupation forces have maintained a total blockade on both Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre for the sixth consecutive day, alongside an intensified security lockdown on all gates of Jerusalem\u2019s Old City.\" width=\"1000\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/03.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/03-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/03-768x461.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-19099\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Al-Aqsa Mosque lockdown<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-19\" data-start=\"3325\" data-end=\"3779\">In Nabi Samuel village, northwest of Jerusalem, residents were also barred from accessing their mosque.
