Israeli forces imposed strict restrictions on Palestinian Muslim worshipers entering the Al-Aqsa Mosque on Friday, as police continue to deploy heavily across the city.
Men under 40 will not be allowed entry to the holy site, while women of all ages will have access.
Israeli border police have been deployed since the early morning in East Jerusalem and areas of the Old City to prevent crowds gathering to protest.
Two women, Hiba al-Tawil and Latifa Abd al-Latif, were detained late Thursday while leaving the mosque, witnesses said.
Israeli forces launched a widespread crackdown on Palestinian neighborhoods in East Jerusalem late Wednesday following a suspected car attack on pedestrians waiting for a light rail tram. more
