Several clashes took place recently in Jerusalem between Israeli soldiers and Palestinians. Access to the Noble Sanctuary (where the Dome of the Rock and the Al-Aqsa Mosque are located) was even forbidden during a few days to all Palestinian men under the age of 50.

Hamas called for a "day of rage" on Friday 9 October, to protect the holy compound of Al-Aqsa (the third holiest site of Islam).
On the contrary, Fatah called for a "peaceful protest" and a general strike (which resulted in most of the shops inside Old City being closed).
That day Israel's restrictions prevented thousands of Muslim worshipers wanting to pray at the Al-Aqsa mosque from entering the Old City while tourists and Jews, wanting to pray at the Western Wall, where allowed to enter.
Many Palestinians were stopped at a checkpoint just outside the Damascus gate and several extra checkpoints were also established inside the Old City.
