ISRAEL, Jerusalem: Israeli soldiers stand guard outside the Old City in Jerusalem, Israel on October 2, 2015.The area has been closed to worshipers for the last 6 days, as people are prohibited from entering the mosque to perform Friday Prayer. Recent clashes over the last few weeks forced much of the area to be shut down. Pictures above show Palestinian worshipers outside the Damascus gate praying in the direction of Masjid Alaqsa.
