Israeli police on high alert ahead of first Friday prayers of Ramadan

Jerusalem, Mar 6 (UNI) Israeli police plan to deploy approximately 3,000 officers across Jerusalem as the city prepares for the first Friday prayers of Ramadan at the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in the Old City, Israeli media reported on Thursday.
The Al-Aqsa Mosque compound has been a sensitive site holy to both Muslims and Jews and a long-time focal point of tensions between Israelis and Palestinians, particularly during Ramadan.
Last month, Israeli media reported that security agencies plan to restrict access to the site, allowing only 10,000 Palestinians from the West Bank to enter for Friday prayers, contingent upon prior approval. Palestinian prisoners released under the Gaza ceasefire deal will not be granted entry.
