At the heart of Jerusalem is the Noble Sanctuary which includes both the Al-Aqsa Mosque and Dome of the Rock.

ISRAEL---A large group of settlers protected by Israeli forces entered the Al Aqsa mosque compound in Jerusalem Al Quds, and prevented Muslim worshippers from entering the mosque. For two consecutive days, Israeli police have prevented Muslims, men and women under the age of 50, from entering one of the holiest Islamic sites, by erecting flying checkpoints around the compound. The Al-Aqsa mosque and the Dome of the Rock, is the third holiest site in Islam. However, it is also a site where Jewish Israeli’s believe as the Second Temple, a holy site for Jewish, stood before al Aqsa. [link]
