They also prevented a number of Jerusalemite activists and steadfast worshippers (murabitun) from accessing the Old City.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-10\" data-start=\"1259\" data-end=\"1404\">In addition, Israeli police issued parking fines for vehicles belonging to worshippers parked in Wadi al-Joz and around Bab al-Asbat.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-11\" data-start=\"1406\" data-end=\"1793\">Israeli forces also arrested a young man from the mosque courtyards and expelled one of the mosque guards for one week (renewable). According to the Jerusalem Governorate, the man was arrested in the Dome of the Rock compound during the Friday sermon. The expelled guard, Arafat Njeeb, was taken to an Israeli station and handed a renewable one-week ban from Al-Aqsa.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-13\" data-start=\"1821\" data-end=\"2150\">Israeli authorities reopened Al-Aqsa on Tuesday after a 12-day closure, citing \u201csecurity concerns\u201d following the military escalation with Iran. However, tight restrictions remain, especially on Fridays, with thousands of West Bank residents still denied entry to Jerusalem unless they obtain special military permits.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"rtl\" lang=\"ar\">\u0628\u0627\u0644\u0631\u063a\u0645 \u0645\u0646 \u0643\u0644 \u0627\u0644\u0639\u0631\u0627\u0642\u064a\u0644.. \u0627\u0644\u0623\u0642\u0635\u0649 \u064a\u0645\u062a\u0644\u0626 \u0625\u064a\u0645\u0627\u0646\u064b\u0627<\/p>\n<p>\u0622\u0644\u0627\u0641 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0642\u062f\u0633\u064a\u064a\u0646 \u064a\u062a\u062f\u0641\u0642\u0648\u0646 \u0625\u0644\u0649 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D8%B3%D8%AC%D8%AF_%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A3%D9%82%D8%B5%D9%89?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#\u0627\u0644\u0645\u0633\u062c\u062f_\u0627\u0644\u0623\u0642\u0635\u0649<\/a> \u0644\u0623\u062f\u0627\u0621 \u0635\u0644\u0627\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u062c\u0645\u0639\u0629\u060c \u0645\u062a\u062d\u062f\u064a\u0646 \u0625\u062c\u0631\u0627\u0621\u0627\u062a \u0627\u0644\u0627\u062d\u062a\u0644\u0627\u0644 \u0627\u0644\u0642\u0645\u0639\u064a\u0629.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%82%D8%AF%D8%B3?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#\u0627\u0644\u0642\u062f\u0633<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/i4tqgVcVuR\">pic.twitter.com\/i4tqgVcVuR<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0633\u062c\u062f \u0627\u0644\u0623\u0642\u0635\u0649 (@AqsaMosq) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AqsaMosq\/status\/1938542162754351393?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 27, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-19\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-14\" data-start=\"2152\" data-end=\"2484\">The decision to reopen the mosque followed the Israeli Home Front Command&#8217;s announcement to lift all emergency restrictions and resume normal activity\u2014including reopening schools, businesses, and public gatherings\u2014starting Tuesday evening until Thursday night, June 26, after a ceasefire between Israel and Iran was reached.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-15\" data-start=\"2486\" data-end=\"2902\">According to the Wadi Hilweh Information Center \u2013 Jerusalem, Israeli authorities fully closed Al-Aqsa on June 13, allowing only Waqf employees to enter.
