article author: Arab News Sun, 2026-03-29 16: 59 LONDON: Al-Aqsa Mosque in the walled city of occupied East Jerusalem has been closed for the past 30 days, following a joint military campaign launched by Israel and the US targeting the Iranian regime on Feb. 28. Israel declared a state of emergency nationwide and closed all holy sites in Jerusalem, including the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and the Western Wall, the most revered site for Jewish worship. However, the Palestinian Authority condemned the Israeli closure of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, describing it as unprecedented since the occupation in June 1967.
