West Bank, (Pal Telegraph)- Israeli police allowed yesterday dozens of Jews to enter Al-Aqsa mosque in the occupied Jerusalem, restricting the movement of the Palestinian Jerusalemites.

Local sources told that, Israeli occupation forces completely isolated the city and intensified their security procedures by erecting a number of checkpoints as they were preparing to the Passover holiday which will remain for the 27th of this month..

Sources added that groups of Jews invaded the old town, harassed citizens , and vandalized their properties while they were heading to Al-Buraq courtyard to perform their rituals to mark the Passover day.

The Jews guarded by Israeli police passed from Al-Magharba gate and roamed the courtyards and squares of Al-Aqsa mosque, provoking Muslim prayers, according to witnesses .

Occupation police closed yesterday many streets of the old town, preventing citizens in and out of the area and allowed free movement to only vehicles that were carrying settlers .
